To friends and loved ones now departed
I sing for you this song
In thoughts of you I can become downhearted
But my sad feelings never last for long
I think of you and happy times
Sunny days and warmer climes
The love and laughter shared with you
Those golden days will never fade
All the memories we made
Will stay with me my whole life through

Though some of you left without a warning
Your memories still remain
And now a brand new day is dawning
I'll recall your faces again
I'll think of you and happy times
Sunny days and warmer climes
The love and laughter shared with you
Those golden days will never fade
All the memories we made
Will stay with me my whole life through

To friends and loved ones now departed
I sing this requiem today
My love will remain open-hearted
Although the Fates have taken you away
I'll think of you and happy times
Sunny days and warmer climes
The love and laughter shared with you
Those golden days will never fade
All the memories we made
Will stay with me my whole life through
