Sorrowfully Submitted by The Family
Miss Me.. .But Let Me Go
When / 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 little, but not for long
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love we once shared
Miss me.. .but let me go
For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
Its all apart of the Masters Plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me.. .but let me go.
