You can shed tears that I have gone,
Or you can smile because I have lived

You can close your eyes
And pray that I’ll come back,
Or you can open your eyes,
And see all I have left.

Your heart can be empty,
Because you can’t see me,
Or you can be full of the love we shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow
And live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow
Because of yesterday.

You can remember me and only that I’ve gone,
Or you can cherish my memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind,
Be empty and turn your back,

Or you can do what I’d want:
Smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
