Miss Me But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road And the sun has setfor me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room. Why cryfor a soul setfree?
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 ajourney 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 of heart
Go to thefriends we know And buryyour sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss Me - But Let me Go!
