It may not be a melody you know or lyrics you can sing But like an old worn bell I hope you’ll hear it ring. You won’t be able to dance to it or even hum along But at least it will remind you that I am truly gone. It won’t be a melancholy tune full of lonely tears But maybe it will remind you of all our happy years No one else will hear it, drifting through the breeze But perhaps the gentle notes will cause a stirring in the trees Being gone isn’t always such a sad and lonely thing It opens doors to all the joy new beginnings bring Listen for me when I’m gone I will always be there Sending out my words showing how a man can care.
