W hen I'm gone, release me, let me g I have so many things to see and do. You m ustn't tie yourself to me with tears. B e happy that we had so many years.
I gave you m y love, you can only guess H o w much you gave to me in happiness I thank you fo r the love you each have shown
B u t now it's time I traveled on alone.
