I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little-but not too long, and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that was once shared. Miss me, but let me go. For this journey we all must take, and each much go alone. It's all part o f the Master's plan, a step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick of heart, go to the friends we know. Bear your sorrow in good deeds, Miss me, but let me go.
