Miss Me....But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a Utde...but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love
that was once shared
Miss me...but let me go.
For this is a journey we aU must take
And each must go alone
Its all a part of the Masters plan,
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows
in doing good deeds...
MISS ME....BUT LET ME GO!
