I'd like the memory ofme to be a happy one. I'd like to leave an afterglow ofsmiles when lift is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering sojt!J down the wqys, Ofhappy times and laughing times and bright and sunny dqys.
I'd like the tears ofthose who grieve, to dry bifore the sun of happy memories
that I leave when lift is done.
