When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do,
You musn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
I gave you my love. You can only guess
How much you gave me in happiness,
I thank you for the love you have shown.
But now it’s time I travelled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me if grieve you must.
Than 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 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 of my love around you soft and clear.
And then when you must come this way along
I’ll greet you with a smile and welcome you home.
