Miss Me, But Let Me Go...
When I come to the end of the day For this is a journey we all must take
And the Sun has set for me And each must go alone.
Miss me a little. hut not too long When you are lonely and sick at heart And not with your head bowed low.
Go to the friends we know
I want no rites in a gloom-fi ll ed room, It's all a part of the Maker's Plan, Why cry for a soul se t free? A step on the road to home.
Remember the love we once shared And bury your sorrows in doing good deedsMiss me. but let me go.
