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 a little – but not for 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 God’s master plan,


A step on the road to home.
 When you are lonely and sick at heart,


Go to the friends you know,
 bury your sorrow in doing good deeds,
 miss me – but let me go

Me we all be here for some time to come to smell the roses and dance the dance
