Verse 1
Remember when we first met?
You tripped on the sprinklers
I caught you before you fell
For my reward you got me soaking wet
Remember that

When I am long gone
And you are crying all alone
Don't be too sad
Think of all the love we had
Cherish all of the memories
When you start to forget me
Look at all our photographs
And never forget to laugh

Verse 2
When I depart
Hold our kids for me
Never let them forget
I love them with all of my heart
Please don't fall apart
Stick to them like glue
Because they need you

Chorus
When I am long gone
And you are crying all alone
Don't be too sad
Think of all the love we had
Cherish all of the memories
When you start to forget me
Look at all our photographs
And never forget to laugh

Verse 3
I know it's going to take some time
Just know that my heart is forever yours
I want you to be happy
Find someone else to love
And If you do
I will be smiling at you from above

Chorus
When I am long gone
And you are crying all alone
Don't be too sad
Think of all the love we had
Cherish all of the memories
When you start to forget me
Look at all our photographs
And never forget to laugh

Poignant and bitter/sweet. Memories and photos are poor substitutes for someone you loved.

"Verse 1
Remember when we first met?
You tripped on the sprinklers
I caught you before you fell
For my reward you got me soaking wet
Remember that"

I love it!!! Great start. I want to hear the whole story...

But then comes...

"When I am long gone
And you are crying all alone
Don't be too sad
Think of all the love we had
Cherish all of the memories
When you start to forget me
Look at all our photographs
And never forget to laugh"
...and its not bad...at all...it just does not fit.

Think about it... I remember when we first met....says something about theire age...and then suddanly he's dying long before her and as I read it when the kids are very young! Why???

Don't misunderstand me, I think all of it is great,but maybe there should be another verse or maybe its two songs???

I hope you can follow my thoughts here ...
