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
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
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 of heart,
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows
in doing good deeds;
Miss me, but let me go!
