Jt Me Ge
When I come to the end ofthe road, And the sun has setfor me,
I want no rites in a gloomfilled room, Why cryfor a soul setfree?
Miss mea little, but notfor long, And not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that once we shared,
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is ajourney we all must take,
|
And each must go alone.
!
It's all part of themaster plan,
|
A step on the road to home.
