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 the journey that we must take
And each must go alone.
It 's all part of the Master 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 sorrow in doing good deeds
Miss me but let me go.
