When I Must Leave You
When l must leave you fo r a little while-- Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years, But start out bravely with a gallant smile And fo r my sake and in my name Live on and do all things the same.
Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But f i l l each waking hour in useful ways Reach out your hand in com fort and in cheer And I in turn w ill com fort you and hold you near; And never, never, be afraid to die, For I am waiting fo r you in the sky!
