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 Remember the love that we once shared. Miss me but let me go. For this journey we all must take And each must go alone, For it's all part of the Master's plan, A step on the road home. So when you are lonely and sick at heart Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds, Miss me but let me go. neil bardal inc. 949-2200
