Miss Me
B u tL et M e Qo
When I come to the end of the road A nd the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry jor a soul set free?
Miss tnc a little hut not too long A nd not with your head bowed lou Remember the love that we once shared
MISS ME B U T LET ME GO. For this is a journey we all must take
A n d each must go alone It's all a part o f the Master's plan
A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart
G o to the friends we know A nd bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
MISS ME B U T LET ME GO.
