I WANT YOU TO KEEP SMILING, EVEN WHEN I'M GONE

An innocent smile caresses my face
and my hair flaps about my head as I run free.
But inside the scene is not so serene.
Inside there's a bit of pai-
But that doesn't matter though,
what matters is that you remain happy.
What matters is that you keep smiling,
even when the look of abandonment and "Help!"
cross my face when I'm falling and my hand reaches out-
finding nothing but thin air.
Even as I disappear into the black abyss never to be seen again..
as long as you keep smiling then-
because you don't see.
That's all that matters.
I love you.
So I want you to keep smiling, even when I'm gone,
because I lov-
