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 gloom filled rooms
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 we all must take
And each must go it alone.
It is all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.
So when you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know,
Bury your sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me - but let me go.
