If it be your will to speak Of memories we often shared Talk to me of days gone by Think of love and not despair And when I’m 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 else Must take my place For I’ll be gone the longest time I’ll wait and I will understand A heart of thorns must Leave the mind But when in time I see your face The scars will fade The heart will mend So dry your eyes And lay me down I tell you this is not the end And from today I wish you joy From this day 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
