.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; . Rememberthe love we 'once shared,
-' Miss me - but let me go!
t .... . , .
. . :~ :;-
'.. For this. is a journey we all must take,
Ahd 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 at heart,
Go to the friends we know;
And bury your sorrows in-doing good deeds,
Miss me - but let me go!
