Fm G# D# A#m
Cry no tears for me, though I leave you this day
C# D# A#m
And we’ll never more share in the campfire
Fm G# D# A#m
Weep no loss for me, though our hours are short
C# D# Fm
And the brightest flame is the first to expire
G# D# A#m Fm
Question not now how I chose when the paths branched away
C# D# A#m
Understand and please keep your eyes dry
Fm G# D# A#m
And laugh with me now, it will be the last time
C# D# Fm
For when next we meet will be a time to cry
Sing no songs for me, if your voice will crack
And the tightness in your chest will steal your breath
Scribe no verse for me, if your hand will shake
And your words lament a future that is set
Believe me now as it ends that I made the right choice
And embellish not my memories with lies
So speak with me now, with no catch in your throat
When I come again will be a time to cry
Wear no black for me, while I am still alive
For while I yet live I will bathe in the light
Hold no words from me, if any must be said
Keep your secrets or reveal them here this night
Wait to think what might have been ‘til I no longer hear
Never once think to press me for why
Say goodbye to me and smile now if you can
From now on I’ll only see you when you cry
