When I ’ m Gone
When I come to the end of my journey And I travel my last weary mile , Just forget if you can , that I ever frowned And remember only the smile .
Forget unkind words I have spoken ; Remember some good I have done . Forget that I ever had heartache And remember I ’ ve had loads of fun .
Forget that I ’ ve stumbled and blundered And sometimes fell by the way . Remember I have fought some hard battles And won , ere the close of the day .
Then forget to grieve for my going , I would not have you sad for a day , But in summer just gather some flowers And remember the place where I lay ,
And come in the shade of evening When the sun paints the sky in the west Stand for a few moments beside me And remember only my best .
