She left much to soon for the bridge.
I know she's in a better place,
But I wish that I could see her sweet face,
I know she's where she needs to be
Even though it's not here with me
Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Forever I will be with you,
Within your heart I'm born anew.
