Don't cry, hold your tears,
Although I'm going away,
I'll live on,
In your hearts,
You'll think of me someday,
And all I want to see,
Is you smiling back at me,
That's all I want to see,
So I won't trust my words,
With the work of my eyes,
Please set your eyes on me,
And don't cry.
You taught me how,
Soft hearts can pull,
Pushing through the cold,
And how the years,
Keep rolling on,
Blink twice and we'll grow old.
But all I want to see,
Is you smiling, back at me,
That's all I want to see,
But I still cry.
Lately I've been chasing solitude,
Moving to, change my attitude,
Boost my gratitude,
Or fix my broken mood.
And when you look for love,
Find a friend, that is a key,
So use your soul to see,
And don't cry.
I've let you down,
I've worn a frown,
Since you passed away,
But you live on,
In my heart,
I thought of you today,
Still all I want to see,
Is you smiling back at me,
That's all I want to see,
But goodbye.
