Shed Me No Tears by Jeannie C. Riley Lyrics

When I am gone
Sing for me
No sad songs
Plant no flowers at my head
Feed the green grass that covers me or a dew drop wet

And I hope you'll remember
Even if I forget
And sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears

My eyes will be blinded
My ears will not hear
So sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears

The stone at my head will say that I'm gone
That all my seeds have been sown
But I'll leave with you my memory in silence to live on
And I hope you'll remember even if I forget
And sing me no sad songs
And shed me no tears
My eyes will be blinded
Shed me no tears
Shed me no tears
