I played a few guitars and broke my share of strings

I wrote a lot of songs, some I even tried to sing

For those who never told me how bad I really was

I’ll do what I can to bring you some love

When I die, I hope my life will go on

And people I knew might remember a song

Maybe for a moment they’ll forget that I’m gone

Forever a memory, tagging along

I skied in the mountains on some sunny powder days

Got fresh tracks and face shots and soaked in the rays

For all you poor ski bums without any dough

I’ll do what I can to bring you some snow

When I die, I hope my life will go on

And people I knew might remember a song

Maybe for a moment they’ll forget that I’m gone

Forever a memory, tagging along

Don’t feel sad for me, don’t feel bad I’m not around

I’ll be here to help you whenever you’re feelin’ down

When you sleep in your dreams, you’ll see me again

And you’ll know I’m the happiest that I’ve ever been

I’m never far away, always there just for you

Your sidekick from heaven to help you get through

When I die, I hope my life will go on

And people I knew might remember a song

Maybe for a moment they’ll forget that I’m gone

Forever a memory, tagging along

When I die, I hope my life will go on

And people I knew might remember a song

Maybe for a moment they’ll forget that I’m gone

Forever a memory, tagging along
