Why do you weep?
Do you think he's gone?
Open up your eyes:
His memory lives on!
There are those who cannot see him
Although they look so hard.
But I know I can feel him
When I hear one of his songs.

He's in the sky when it's colored pink.
He's in your lemon-flavored ice cream.
He's in the songs of his we sing.
And even in the tears he brings,
He lives.

Though his body's passed on,
His memory lives strong.
You only need to view
Everything around you.

He's in the sky when it's colored pink.
He's in your lemon-flavored ice cream.
He's in the songs of his we sing.
And even in the tears he brings,
He lives.

Oh hide,
Why did you go?
Oh hide,
We'd like to know why you left us all alone.
Oh hide,
Why did you go?
Oh hide,
We'd like to know.
Did you feel...alone?

Please cheer up
And stop your weeping, too.
He was always happy
And he'd want that for you.
I know that he's gone
And crying feels so good.
But you and I, we need to live
As hide never could.
So when you start to feel sad
Just sit down and think;
And count out all the things
That remind you of hide!

Like the sky when it's colored pink,
And like the taste of lemon ice cream.
Like the joy in his songs we sing,
And especially in our tears that he brings.

Oh, he's in the sky when it's colored pink.
He's in your lemon-flavored ice cream.
He's in the songs of his we sing.
And even in the tears he brings,
Oh, even in the tears he brings,
Yes, especially in the tears he brings--
He lives.
