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