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 rites in a gloom-filled room, Why cry for a soul set free? Miss me a little—but not too 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 that 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 at heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds: Miss me, but let me go. Goodnight sweet prince the angels have carried you home.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning we will remember them.
