Please Speak Well of Me

I've been away

A year and a day

You recognize love after the fact

You did what you did and that was that

Don't say words that you don't mean

When I'm gone, please speak well of me

Looking back now

I only wish I had been kinder

Did I ever know love? Did I ever know love?

And could I have been blinder?

Don't say words that you don't mean

When I'm gone, please speak well of me

Don't hold back all your love

For someday, for someday

I would say that I'm sorry

If it would do any good

But to never regret means you have to forget

And I don't think that I could

Don't say words that you don't mean

When I'm gone, when I'm gone

When I'm gone, please speak well of me
