aligncenterWhen I come to the end of

aligncenterThe road and the sun has set for me.

aligncenterI want no rites in a gloom-filled room.

aligncenterWhy cry for a soul set free

aligncenterMiss me a little but not for long,

aligncenterAnd not with your head bowed low.

aligncenterRemember all we once shared.

aligncenterMiss me, but please let me go.

aligncenterFor this journey we all must take,

aligncenterAnd each must go alone.

aligncenterIts all part of the masters plan, a step on the road to him.

aligncenterWhen you grow lonely, and sick at the heart.

aligncenterBury your sorrows in doing good deeds.

aligncenterMiss me, but please let me go.
