“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 too long and not with your head bowed low. Remember the love and years that we shared miss me but let me go. For this is a journey that we all must make and each must go alone. It’s all a part of the Master’s plan a step on the road home. So when you are lonely and sick at heart, go to friends we know and bury your sorrows in doing good deeds. Miss me but let me go.
