"Miss Me a Little "
When I come to the end o f the road, and the sun has setfor me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room, Why cryfor a soul setfree.
Miss me a little - but notfor long And not with your head bowed low,
Remember the love we shared. Miss me - but let me go.
For this is the journey that we all must take, And each must go alone.
I t'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, Go to a place aglow.
And bury sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me, but let me go.
