"'Til Then"

Please do not forget me friend

I have not died to you see,

I am simply moving on in Life,

The present must cease to be.

Please do not forget me friend

It is not my choice you know,

I have just outgrown this place

So now I have to go.

Please do not forget me friend

You've been my whole wide world you see,

You have taught me so very much

But now I must fly free.

Please do not forget me friend

As you also move on,

Please do not shed tears for me

Help each other to be strong.

Please do not forget me friend

For I know I cannot forget you,

Please help the pain of loss fade away

And show me the way that's true.

Please do not forget me friend

We all have our own part in Life you see,

You must go your way and I must go mine

For that is the way things are meant to be.

Please always keep my memory dear

Please do not forget me friend

And do not bid good-bye to me

Instead let's say "til then"
