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 to long and not with your head bowed low, Remember the love that we once shared Miss me -- But let me go. For this journey that we all must take and each must go alone, It's all a 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...
