When I am gone - release me, let me go. I have so many things to see and do.
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. I gave you me; you can only guess. How much happiness you gave me.
I thank you for the love each of you have shown But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So, grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must. Then let your grief be comforted by trust. So bless the memories within your heart. I t's only for a while that we must part. I won't be far away, for life goes on. I f 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 of my love around you, soft and clear. And then, when you must come this way alone.
I will greet you with a smile and say. WELCOME HOME
