I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one,
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when Day is done.
I'd like to leave an Echo
Whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times and
bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve to dry before the sun.
Of happy memories that I leave
behind when the day is done.
