When I am gone, release me. Let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You must not tie yourself to me with tears
Be happy that I had so many years
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness
I thank you for the love each have shown
But now it is time I traveled on alone.
