My Heart Will Remember

When all the world is through with me
And I have taken my last step
And tasted every last morsel
When I have touched the finite finally
And have kissed it all goodbye
My heart will still remember
For living has not been in vain
With all its joys and all the pain
For suffering and laughter are a part
And I will remember with my heart
And even though it will stop beating
The love I've known will keep repeating
We come to earth with nothing
But with something we depart
Those memories of happiness
The laughter of the child in us
The sweetness of a kindness done
Those things are meant to last until the end
And I know that I'll remember in my heart
I'll remember loving you for always, my Friend
