When I'm Gone

When I come to the end of my journey

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 ever had heartache

And remember, I've had loads of fun

Forget that I have stumbled and blundered

And sometimes fallen 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
