Do not cry for me
Or cast a shadow of grief
across my name
Or whisper in soft sad tones –
“He was too young to go”
Do not shroud yourself in misery
Or curse the sky or stomp the ground
if one day the sun should rise
No, no do not come undone
You see, I feel your pain
And I hear your cries
And they all break my heart
Because I’m there with you
And part of you is with me
So – please – do not come undone
Instead, Let us sing that old song
And laugh at old jokes And please
always smile at the sound of my name
I’ll remember you Please remember me too
So that our love
our love our love
our love can be my legacy
