Lyrics

The day is getting short
The night is getting long
I think that I have voiced my thoughts
In a hundred different songs

So now I want to say
The only way I know
And sing this song this one last song
To help you all let go

Don’t Cry for Me
Dry your eyes for me
And realize I’ve been set free

You need to know
I loved all you so
Through all the years
And all the tears

Don’t cry
Dry your eyes and realize
It is my time
Don’t cry for me……..

I have truly loved
And I have really lived
More than most will ever know
More than most can give

I’ve lived so many different lives
And have the scars to show
A pragmatist to the end
With an artist glow

I know there was much laughter
But also, there were tears
In the end, they’re both the same
For that is life’s refrain………

And through the calm and stormy days
Hear me when I say
I have a song still in my heart
And thankful for these days

With you
All of you

So now it’s time to say goodbye

Don’t cry for me
Dry your eyes for me
You must believe I’ve been set free
You need to know I loved you so
Through all the years and all the tears
Don’t cry… dry your eyes…. and realize it was my time
Don’t cry for me

[Poetically spoken]
[outtro]
So cheers to friends and family, my children, and my wife

Please celebrate our memories, celebrate the life

I’ve made my share of miscues and wandered on the way

Sure, I’ve had a few regrets, but I drank them all away

But I would never change a thing if it changed the ones I met.

This journey has been kind to me, so thank you all for that.

Now raise a glass and dry your eyes, and give me one last toast

For though I may not be here, I am still your loving Host.

Don’t cry for me!

Cheers!
