If it be your will to speak,
Of memories, we often shed,
Talk to me of days gone by,
Think of love and not despair,
And when im gone,
We'll meet again,
As often do the closest friends,
So dry your eyes and lay me down,
I tell you this is not the end,
And if someone must take my place,
For i'll be gone the longest time,
I'll wait, and ill will understand,
A heart of sounds must leave the mind,
And when in time, I see a face
The skies will fade, the heart will mend,
So dry your eyes, and lay me down
I tell you this is not the end.
And from this day,
I wish you joy, from today,
I wish you peace,
I hope that life, will pa** you by,
As softly as the falling leaves,
And when your heart, is full again,
Raise a gla**, for me my friend,
And dry your eyes, and lay me down,
I tell you this is not the end,
Oh dry your eyes,
And lay me down
I tell you this is not the end.
