To Those I Love and Those Who Love Me
When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do. You musn't tie yourselfto me with tears, Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love. You can only guess, How much you gave to me in happiness. I thank you for the love each ofyou has shown, But now it's time I traveled on alone. So grieve awhile for me, ifgrieve you must Then let your griefbe comforted by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part So bless the memories within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on So ifyou need me, call and I will come Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near, And ifyou listen with your heart, you'll hear All ofmy love around you soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say "WELCOME HOME."
