  2. Don’t remember me with sadness, don’t remember me with tears, remember all the laughter, we’ve shared throughout the years.

    Now I am contented that my life was worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.

    When you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind, I’m walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

    So please don’t be unhappy just because I’m out of sight, remember that I’m with you each morning, noon and night.
