DON'T EVER CRY FOR ME TOMORROW
I wrote this in the aftermath of 9/11.
Don't ever cry for me tomorrowYou still can make me smile todayDon't ever look at me with sorrowOr I will simply drift awayI want to see you as I know youI need to lean on you right nowI want to kiss you and to show you I'll give you strength, now that I'm leavingI'll give you strength to get you byLet's both just laugh instead of grievingLet's live this moment; not ask whyDon't say goodbye, goodbye's foreverWe'll meet again in simple waysYou'll hear my voice when I'm not speakingAnd feel my warmth on winter days Yes I'll be walking right beside youAnd I'll be there in times of doubtWhen you are down, I'll lift your spiritsDon't ever try to keep me outAnd at the end just simply hold meAllow my journey to beginThis world has now got to dismiss meBut paradise will take me in And as years pass, you'll have the memoriesWhen we were two instead of oneYou'll live again those special momentsAs though I'd never, ever goneSo face the future as I've known youBe brave, be strong; you'll pass that testAnd I will walk through fields in HeavenRemembering that I shared the best
