Don't remember me with sadness, don't remember me with tears.
Remember all the laughter that we've shared throughout the years.
Now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
When you are walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
So please don't be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon, and night.
