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 nights 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 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.
