[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] Don't keep me only in silence, Or only in the rain. Remember me in laughter, In ordinary days. When your children start laughing, Or friends gather awhile, That's where you'll find me waiting— Carry me in your smile. [Chorus] Carry me in your smile, More than in your tears. Let my love walk beside you Through all your coming years. Don't let sorrow be the only Place my memory lives. If you love me... Let that love still live. [Instrumental Interlude] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Plant another little garden, Take another morning walk. Tell my stories around the table, Let someone hear me talk. Every kindness that you offer, Every gentle mile, Becomes another way to Carry me in your smile. [Bridge] Grief doesn't ask us to forget. Love doesn't ask us to stay behind. It asks us to keep each other alive In the way we live our lives. [Chorus] Carry me in your smile, More than in your tears. Let my love walk beside you Through all your coming years. Don't let sorrow be the only Place my memory lives. If you love me... Let that love still live. [Instrumental Break] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Carry me in your smile, In the songs you sing again. In the people that you comfort, In the hope you help begin. If you ever miss me deeply, Close your eyes awhile... You'll find me in the light Of your smile. [Outro] Love doesn't leave. It changes the way It stays.
