[Verse 1:]
Bye baby
See you around
Didn't I tell you
I wouldn't hold you down

Take good care of yourself, y'hear
Don't let me hear about you shedding a tear
You're gonna make it
You're gonna take it

[Chorus:]
Remember me as a sunny day
That you once had
Along the way
Didn't I inspire you a little higher

Remember me as a funny clown
That made you laugh when you were down
Didn't I, boy?
Didn't I, boy?

Remember me as a big balloon
At a carnival that ended too soon
Remember me as a breath of spring
Remember me as a good thing

[Verse 2:]
Bye baby
See you around
I already know
About the new love you've found

What can I do but wish you well
What we had was really swell
I won't forget it, I have no regrets

[Chorus:]
Remember me as a sound of laughter
And my face the morning after
Didn't the sky beckon us to fly?

Yes, you'l remember the times we fought
But don't forget me in your tender thoughts
Please, darlin'
Oh yeah

Remember me when you drink the wine
Of sweet success and I gave you my best
Remember me with every song you sing
Remember me as a good thing

Remember me as a sunny day
Please darling
Remember me as a good thing
Remember me when you drink the wine

Remember me as a good thing
Remember me as a big balloon
Don't forget me, darling
