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, we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love you each have shown,
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve a while for me if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's 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 can't see or touch me, I'll be near
And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear.
All 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".
