Memories

I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know that you are gone.
I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know I must go on

I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know your life is not mended.
I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know your suffering has ended.

I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know I must stay strong.
I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know your life was long.

I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know you want it this way.
I will not shed one tear for you,
Because I know what you would say.

I will but shed two tears for you and that will be the end.
I will but shed two tears for you and then my life will mend.

I will but shed one tears for you,
And the life that you once lead.
I will but shed one tears for you,
And the memories that aren’t dead.
