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 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 a part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely, and sick to heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows, in doing good deeds. Miss me-but let me go.
