we all make mistakes that we can never change
no way of going back no way to rearrange.

we cant make it better no matter what we do
the past is in the past mistakes we made a few.

what is done is  done we cant take it back
put them all behind and get life back on track.

take it day by day start again a new
leave mistakes behind is all that you can do.

When I come to the end of my journey
And I travel my last weary mile
Just forget if you can, that I ever frowned
And remember only the smile
Forget unkind words I have spoken
Remember some good I have done
Forget that I ever had heartache
And remember I've had loads of fun
Forget that I've stumbled and blundered
And sometimes fell by the way
Remember I have fought some hard battles
And won, ere the close of the day
Then forget to grieve for my going
I would not have you sad for a day
But in summer just gather some flowers
And remember the place where I lay
And come in the shade of evening
When the sun paints the sky in the west
Stand for a few moments beside me
And remember only my best
