miss Me-Bullet Me #o
When I come to the end of the road, and the s un has se t for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room. Why cry for a soul se t free?
Mies me a little, hut not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared,
m iss me, but let me go. For this is a journey we ail m ust take, and unfortunately, each m u st take alone,
it's all a part of the m a ste rs plan, a step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds, M iss Me...Rut, Flease Dear Love, Let Me Go.
