To Those I Love To those I love and those who love me, When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do. You mustn' tie yourself to me with tears Be happy that we had so many years. I gave you my love and you can only guess, How much you gave me in happiness. I thank you for the love you each have shown But not it's time I traveled on alone, So grieve awhilefor me, if grieve you must Then let your grief be comforted by trust It's onlyfor awhile that we must part So bless the memories within your heart
I won't befar away, for life goes on. So, if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near,
And if you listen with your heart, You'll hear all rny love around you soft and clear, And then, when you must come this way alone. I'll greet you with a smile and say, "Welcome Home."
