IF DAVE COULD THIS IS WHAT HE WOULD SAY Don’t cry for me anymore I know you miss holding me and being with me Now that you can´t see me anymore, Or hug me or play with me as you used to But, please don’t cry for me anymore… All the times you think of, we still have it all. And everything we did and felt, it’s only ours. They were a gift to you, from me, I was a gift. So don’t cry for my gift to you – I don’t. You returned my gift with your love, our love. And you were my living light, in this life. Our love is still living by an invisible cord. So don’t cry for our love – I don’t. One day though, I had to move on, even so, My soul to another phase of existence. We all have to do so, to a new kind of life. So don’t cry for my new life – I don’t My soul went softly towards the light that day. And I’m now soaring high over blue skies, I’m free. Without pain, I’m finally at home, at peace. So don’t cry for my soul at peace– I don’t. My soul and spirit are still living and so is my love for you. My body you saw and remember, was merely a disguise. To make it easy for you to love and remember. So don’t cry for the memories– I don’t. And now, I hope what you really loved about me, Was my soul, my spirit, my endless love for you. My life interlaced with yours in the Land of Eternity. So don’t cry for our life together – I don’t And remember, when you need me, I’ll be with you again. Even if you can’t see me, as you used to. Close your tender eyes, take deep breaths, And I’ll be with you again, my loving light… Take deep breaths, deep breaths… So, please don’t cry for me – I’ll be just beside you again And you can feel my love, in the rays of the faint sun, My breath on your face, in a soft autumn wind. And you can smell me in the fragrance of flowers. Even the smallest raindrop on your cheek – I’m there. For you, to wipe away your tears and sadness… Because I was meant to be a gift to you, Not a burden or a great grief. My gift was to make you happy, to feel loved. And not to be sad or cry for me So, please don´t cry for me anymore I´m home and I´m free at last © Yvonne Jansson ~ 12th of October, 2006
