Before I Leave You
Before I go
I want you to know
My life has been blessed
With all my family and friends
I will try to take with me
only loving memories
There have been hard times
As well as good
But I had all of you to love me
To see me through
Don't cry and be lonely
Sad or blue
Just remember the years
we have enjoyed together
Go on without me
And live life anew
Look up to heaven
Where I hope to be
Remember what I've taught you
To help lead you through
Always remember I love you
Never forget me
As I will remember you
Thank you,
for all the loving memories
I'll take them with me
To hold them and keep
them for all eternity
Sharing with you memories
Of a loving wife
Mother and daughter
Each of these will remain
To hold dear
To keep near to you heart
To help you and guide you
through the coming years
Always remember
It takes a parent, to become a daughter
A husband to become a wife
Children, to become a mother
To carry you through life
I'll say goodbye to you now
But always be near to say hello
