"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 for long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we 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 plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friends we know.

Laugh at all the things we used to do

Miss me, but let me go."

“Like a shadow in the moonlight. Like the whisper of the seas. Like the echoes of a melody. Just beyond our reach. In the shadow of our sorrow. Past the whisper of goodbye. Love shines through eternity. A heartbeat from our eye.”
