Let Me Go

When I came 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 for long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me but let me go.

And this is a journey we all must take

And each must go alone

It's all a part of the master plan

A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go to the friend we know

Laugh at all the things we used to do

Miss me, but let me go.
