When I have 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 at
heart,
Go to the friends we
know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good
deeds
Miss me-but let me
go.
