and I travel my last weary mile, just
forget if you can, that I ever frowned
and remember only the smile. Forget
unkind words I have spoken;
remember some good I have done.
Forget that I never had a heartache
and remember I've had loads of fun.
Forget that I have stumbled and
blundered and sometimes fell by the
way. Remember I have fought some
hard battles and won, ere the close of
the day, then forget to grieve for my
going, I would not have you sad for a
day, But in summer just gather some
flowers and remember the place where
I lay, and come in the evening when
the sun paints the sky in the west,
stand for a few moments beside me
and remember only my best.
