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 tears in a gloom-filled room,

Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little – But not for 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 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 of heart

Go to your friends that we know,

And bury your sorrows in doing good works,

Miss me – But let me go.

Perhaps if we could see the splendour of the land

To which our loved ones are called from you and me,

We’d understand

Perhaps if we could hear the welcome they receive

From old familiar voices all so dear

We would not grieve.

Perhaps if we could know the reason why they went

We’d smile and wipe away the tears the flow

We’d wait content

Miss me – But let me go.
