When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do you
mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears be
happy that we had so many years. I gave
you my love. You can only guess how much
you gave to me in happiness I thank you for
the love you have shown but now it’s time
I travel on alone. So grieve awhile for me
if grieve you must then let your grief be
comforted by trust. It’s only for awhile that
we must part so bless the memories with
your heart. I won’t be far away, for life goes
on so if you need me, call and I will come
though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near
and if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear
all of my love around you soft and clear.
And then, when you must come this way
alone I’ll greet you with a smile, and
welcome you home.
