When I am gone, release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do; you mustnt tie yourself to me 
WITH TOO MANY TEARS, BUT BE THANKFUL WE HAD SO MANY GOOD YEARS. I GAVE YOU MY LOVE, AND YOU CAN ONLY GUESS. 
HOW MUCH YOUVE GIVEN ME IN HAPPINESS. I THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE SHOWN, BUT NOW IT IS TIME I 
TRAVELED ON ALONE. So GRIEVE FOR ME A WHILE, IF GRIEVE YOU MUST, THEN LET YOUR GRIEF BE COMFORTED BY TRUST. It 
IS ONLY FOR A WHILE THAT WE MUST PART, SO TREASURE THE MEMORIES WITHIN YOUR HEART. I WONT BE FAR AWAY FOR 
LIFE GOES ON. AND IF YOU NEED ME, CALL AND I WILL COME. THOUGH YOU CANT SEE OR TOUCH ME, I WILL BE NEAR. AND 
IF YOU LISTEN WITH YOUR HEART, YOULL HEAR, ALL MY LOVE AROUND YOU SOFT AND CLEAR. AND THEN, WHEN YOU COME 
THIS WAY ALONE, ILL GREET YOU WITH A SMILE AND A WELCOME HOME.
