Bury my heart in a willow tree
The branches give rise to the lowest leaves
Find shelter and shade in my arms

Once I am gone don't mourn for me
I hope you take pride in what I used to be
Let go of all your pain

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all that I've done?

I've made mistakes that I can't take back
I'm just a man both good and bad
Can you forgive all my wrongs?

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
And can you forgive all, all my wrongs?

Memories may fade but what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate

Will you remember me when I'm gone?
Or will you forget all, all that I've done?

Memories may fade but what we create may stay
Time holds the key of fate
Only time can reveal the gate
