I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that place at the break of day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss.
Ah yes, these things, I to will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much.
Good friends, good times,
A loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart and share with me.
God wanted me now, He set me free.
