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 glint on snow. Time may heal the broken-hearted, time may make the wound less sore; but time will never stop the longing for the loved one gone before. 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 glint on snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn's rain. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there, I did not die. What would I give to clasp your hand, your happy face to see, to hear your voice and see your smile, that meant so much to me.
