If

If

If I can leave you with a memory longstanding in your mind,
That will stay with you for longer than your day,
If just that one small memory is never left behind,
Then my presence here will ever come to stay.

If I can leave you with a thought that you together will impart,
To others who will pass across your way,
If just that thought will cause a feeling deep inside your heart,
Then my presence here will ever come to stay.

If I can leave you with a silver tear you find hard to overcome,
From the sorrow that surrounded you today,
If just that tear reminds you of the joys that are to come,
Then my presence here will ever come to stay.

If I can leave you with a smile so bright that all the world will see,
Your beauty that will never go astray,
If that bright smile engulfs your world and slays your misery,
Then my presence here, – will ever come to stay.
