  • If it be your will to speak
    Of memories we often shared
    Talk to me of days gone by
    Think of love and not despair

    And when I’m gone
    We’ll meet again
    As often do the closest friends
    So dry your eyes
    And lay me down
    I tell you this is not the end

    And if someone else
    Must take my place
    For I’ll be gone the longest time
    I’ll wait and I will understand
    A heart of thorns must
    Leave the mind

    But when in time I see your face
    The scars will fade
    The heart will mend
    So dry your eyes
    And lay me down
    I tell you this is not the end

    And from today I wish you joy
    From this day I wish you peace
    I hope that life will pass you by
    As softly as the falling leaves

    And when your heart is full again
    Raise a glass for me my friend
    And dry your eyes
    And lay me down
    I tell you this is not the end
    Oh dry your eyes
    And lay me down
    I tell you this is not the end Writer/s: CLARE RITA MARY MAGUIRE, FRASER LANCE THORNEYCROFT SMITH
