Let Me Go

When I come to the end of 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 a heartache
And remember I’ve had loads of fun.

Forget that I have 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 evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west,

Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best.
