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 Its all part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home
When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the fri ends we know
and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me but let me go.

Do you hear the triumphant roar as my feet hit the floor? You see I haven't danced my last dance. .
Celebrate my life as you move to the rhythm of the symbolic melody of "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough" cause I haven't danced my last dance. There is a sweet spirit that should fill the empty space in your heart as I have found peace with the Lord. But I haven't danced my last dance Remember me and the legacy that I started under the Barnett name. And although we have been through a lot we should think about the happiness and not the pain so know I haven't danced my last dance. But you are not alone, for I am here with you. Though were far apart, you're always in my heart. "So help me dance my last dance".
