Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road, And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in gloom-filled rooms, 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 we once shared
Miss me--but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone. It's all a part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me - but let me go.
