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 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 a part of the Master’s Plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go to the friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds
Miss me – but let me go.
