You Can



You can sit around and worry and shed a few more tears
 Or you can think of all the good times we shared in many years
 You can wonder why I'm gone and no longer hold you tight
 Or you can look up at the sky and know I'm with you every night
 You can walk around this world and ask why certain things must be
 I'm here to tell you now that life is one big mystery
 Please don't worry for me I'm so much better now
 And if you start to cry for me I'll let you know somehow
 In your heart is where I am and that is where I'll stay
 Rest assure I'm by your side each and every day
 You could sit around and worry and cry yourself to sleep
 Or you can think of all the memories you and I can keep
