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 – but not too long

And now with your head bowed low;

Remember the love we once shared

Miss me – but let Me Go!

For this journey we all must take

And each must go alone;

It’s all a 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 we know

And bury your sorrows doing good deeds

Miss me – but let me go!
