Miss Me, But Let Me Go When I come to the lnd 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 while - 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 journey we all must take, and 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 of heart, go to the friends we know, and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.
