When I am gone, release me, let me
go I have so many things to see and
do. You mustn’t tie yourselves to me
with tears, just be happy that we
had some years. I gave you my love,
you can only guess how much you
gave to me in happiness. I thank you
for the love you each have shown,
but now it’s time I traveled on
alone. Do grieve a while for me if
you must then let your grief be
comforted by trust. It’s only for a
while that we must part, so keep our
memories within your hearts. I
won’t be far away, for life goes on,
so if you need me call and I will
come. Though you can’t see or
touch me I’ll be near, and if you
listen with your heart you will hear,
all of my love around so soft and
dear. And then when you must come
this way alone, I’ll greet you with a
smile and say welcome home.
