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 we all must take

And each must go alone;

It’s all 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

Miss Me – But Let Me Go
