The After Glow I'd like the memory ofme
To be a happy one I'd like to leave an afterglow
Ofsmiles when life is done Whispering softly down the way Ofhappy times and laughing times
And bright and sunny days I'd like tears ofthose who grieve,
Dry before the sun Ofhappy memories that I leave
When my life is done.
