How Shall I Be Remembered

I'd like to think that I was kind
I hope you felt that you could speak your mind
I'd like to think I was a friend
I hope that you could trust me all the way to the end

I'd like to think that I always cared
I did my best to treat people fair
I'd like to think I made you smile
I'm glad that we could laugh every once in a while

How shall I be Remembered
Everybody's days are numbered
Though everything looks fine
When it's time it's time
I hope you have some stories to tell
I hope that you'll remember me well

I'd like to think I left my mark
I hope that I could shed a little light in the dark
I'd like to think I gave you hope
I hope that I could I help you find a better way to cope

I'd like to think I helped you escape
I hope that I could help you navigate your fate
I'd like to think you knew I was proud
Of who you are and what you're all about

How shall I be Remembered
Everybody's days are numbered
Though everything looks fine
When it's time it's time
I hope you have some stories to tell
I hope that you'll remember me well

There'll come a time
When you look back
I hope you'll remember
How much that I cared
There'll come a time
When you'll understand me
I hope you'll remember
That I was always there
That I was always there
That I was always there

I hope I showed you a way to the stars
I knew you'd make it, no matter how far
I'd like to think I brightened your day
And helped to guide you along your way

I'd like to think I was here for you
I tried to see my life in other shoes
I'd like to think I tried not to judge
I hope I didn't push you away too much

How shall I be Remembered
Everybody's days are numbered
Though everything looks fine
When it's time it's time
I hope you have some stories to tell
I hope that you'll remember me well

I'd like to think that I was sincere
I always tried to keep my family near
I'd like to think I showed you love
I hope I helped you always rise above

I'd like to think that I did my best
To always help you find your way to success
I'd like to say I'm glad I'm your dad
I did my best to give you everything I had

How shall I be Remembered
Everybody's days are numbered
Though everything looks fine
When it's time it's time
I hope you have some stories to tell
I hope that you'll remember me well
