The manga series was licensed for an English language release by Kodansha Comics USA in North America, and in Australia and New Zealand by Random House Australia.

Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone

by: Sailor Moon

Will you miss me when i'm gone?
Will you remember all the good times we had?
the hardest part about leaving is saying good-bye.
But I'll only be a memory away.
I'll miss you more then i can say.
And when I dream
I'll just dream of that you
I'll be only a memory away.
You're something special to me.
Friendship is something that money can't buy.
And if you need me, you know that I'll be there for you.
I'll only be a memory away,
I'll miss you more than I can say.
And when I dream, I'll just dream of that you
I'll only be a memory away.
I'll miss you more than I can say.
And you will see, I will be there for you,
I'll be only a memory away.
