Goodbye my family, my life has passed, But my love for you will always last; Weep not for me, but courage take, And love one another for my sake; As time goes by and you all grow older, My hand will rest upon your shoulder; Do not be sad or weep for me, Be happy my loved one, When you think of me. + Gone from our home that smiling face, The cheerful happy ways, The heart that won so many friends, In bygone happy days. + Her smiling way and pleasant face, Are a pleasure to recall, She had a kindly word for each, And died beloved by all. Some day we hope to meet her, Some day, we know not when, To clasp her hand in a better land, Never to part again.
