I Ini A lw a y s W ith Y o u
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 too many tears, But be thankful we had so many good years. I gave you my love, and you can only guess How much you've 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 That it is onlyfor a while that we must part, So treasure the memories within your heart. I won't befar awayfor life goes on. And i f you need me, call and I will come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I will be near And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear A ll my love around you soft and clear And then, when you come this way alone,
I'll greet you with a smile and a " Welcome Home".
