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 the 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 they close of 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 the evening When the sun paints the sky in the west, Stand for a few minutes beside me And remember only my best. There is no public service as per Bonnies wishes.
