MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
When I come to the
end of the road
and the sun has set for me
I want to rites
In a gloom filled room
Why cry for a soul set free.
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 the journey
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.
So, when you are alone
and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know
and bury your sorrow
in doing good deeds
Miss me, but le me go.
