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."
