Do not forget me
When the sun dips low on the horizon
And the gentle night creeps in
As the quiet dark settles and the light fades away
Do not forget me.
Do not forget me
When you lay my body to rest
And bury me in the kind earth.
When in my final resting place I lie in slumber
Do not forget me.
Do not forget me
When twilight fades to silent dawn again
And light has yet to break above
As the wind caresses you and whispers softly
Do not forget me.
Do not forget me
When memory fades like a photograph
And all that is left is an old ache
When tears no longer fall for me still,
Do not forget me.
Do not forget me
Though age is not kind I ask
Do not forget me
As I have not forgotten you.
