Miss Me, But Let Me Go!!
When I come to the end of the road and the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room, why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little – but not too long and not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared, miss me – but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take and each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart go to the friends we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
MISS ME – BUT LET ME GO!
We miss you with all our love.
