Miss Me, But Let Me GoWhen 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 too longAnd not with your head bowed low.

Remember the love that we once sharedMiss me – but let me go

For this is a journey that we must all 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 in doing good deeds.Miss me – but let me go.
