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!
