When I tnust leave you for a little while. Please do not grieve and shed wild tears, And hug your sorrow to you through the years But start out bravely witl1 a gallant smile
And for my sake and in tny natne
Live on and do all dungs the satne Feed not your loneliness and empty days But fill each working hour in useful ways Reach out your hands in con1fort and in cheer And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near
And never, ever be afraid to die For I atn wailing for you in the sky.
