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 you head bowed low

Remember the love that we once shared

Miss me, but let me go.

For this a journey we all must take

And each must go alone

It? 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

And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds

Miss me ?ut let me go.
