MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the end of the road
and the sun setsfor me, I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
why cryfor a soul setfree? Miss me a little, but not too long
and not withyour head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared,
miss me, but let me go. For this is ajourney we all must take and each must go alone,
It's all apart ofthe Master's Plan,
a step on the road to home. When you are lone!J and sick at heart,
go to the friends we know, buryyour sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.
