MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO

WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE ROAD, AND THE SUN HAS SET FOR ME.

i WANT NOT 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 STE ON THE ROAD TO HOME.

WHEN YOU ARE LONELY AND SICK AT HEART, GO TO THE FRIENDS YOU KNOW.

AND BURY YOUR SORROWS IN DOING GOOD DEEDS.

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO!!
