And If I Should Die

And if I should die before you wake
Know my heart could never break
And as you lay me in the ground
Remember what was lost is found

And as you weep at my cold stone
Remember that you are not alone
Take care to rest your weary head
Remember the words we left unsaid

Scatter me across the sea
Until my dust is finally free
Blow me one last and final kiss
Remember me, remember this

Remember once my fading grin
Then forget what maybe should have been
Remember that we once had love
Forget the dreams that we dreamt of
Forget and live so happily
Do this one last thing for me

And if I should die before you wake
Forget the toll that life can take
Forget the pain that life can bring
Forget the songs we used to sing

Forget what’s left of my memory
Forget that you were once with me
Sleep well and long beside the fire
Forget you once felt my desire

Forget my face and live well at last
Forget the dreams buried in the past
Forget that my heart was once at peace
Remember once and then release
me
