TRJBUTE
I'd Rather See You Smiling
Yau must not think that I have gone Please don't grieve or pine I'd rather see you smiling
Laughing - rvorking - looking fine
Death is an exciting key Which opens many doors It leads us into other rvorlds
Quite similar to yours
Life is not an accident Death is not the end God designed a mystery Life and death do blend
So do not think that I have gone Please don't brood or pine I'd rather see you smiling
Laughing - working - looking fine
