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 that 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.
TOGETHER FOREVER!
