"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.
Remember the love we once shared.
"Miss Me- But Let Me Go"
For this is a journey that we all must take,
and each must go alone.
lfs all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonley and sick at heart,
Go to the friend we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
"Miss Me -But Let Me Go"
