To Those I Love When I’m 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 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 with your heart I won’t be far far away, for life goes on So if you need, call and I will come Though you can’t see me, 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.
