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. Its 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.
