Miss Me, but Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set on me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss 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 a journey that 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 of heart
Go to the friends that we know
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds.
Miss me, but let me go.
