When I’m gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
Don’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love. You can only guess
How much that You gave me in happiness.
I thank you for your love you each have shown.
But it is time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for a little while that we must part
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won't be far away, for life goes on.
So if you need me, call and I’ll come.
Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near.
And if you listen with your heart, you'll
Hear all my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I’ll greet you with a smile, and a
"Welcome Home."
