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 little – but not too long,

And not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that once was shared.

Miss me – but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone.

It’s all part of the Master’s 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.
