The After Glow
I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one I'd like to leave an after glow Of smiles when life is done. I'd like to leave an echo,
Whispering softly down the ways, Of happy tim es and laughing times
And bright and sunny days I'd like the tears of those who grieve, To dry before the sun: Of Happy Memories
