When I am gone, release me and let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You musn’t tie yourself to me with tears,
Be happy we had so many years.
I gave you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it’s tim I traveled on alone.
So grieve for a while if grieve you must,
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It is only for a while that we must part,
So bless the memories within your heart.
I won’t be far away, for life goes on
So if you need me, call and I will come.
Though you cannot see or touch me, I will be near
And if you listen with your heart you will hear
All of my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way alone,
I will greet you with a smile and say,
“Welcome Home”.
