When I left the worltJ without you, I know it made you blue Your tears fell so freely, I watched; I know it's true.
From the wonderful place called Heaven, where all my pain is gone. I sent a gentle breeze to whisper to my love one, please come on.
The peace that I havefou No rain, no clouds, no
far beyond compare. love from everywhere.
To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return.
To the angry, I was cheated. But to the happy, I am at peace. And to the faithful, I have never left.
cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So as you stand upon a shore gazing at a beautiful seaAs you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity Remember Me
emember me in your heart
Your thoughts and your memories Of the times we loved The times we ~ried The times we fought The times we laughed
For if you always think of me, I will never have gone.
