LYRICS

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 for long
And not with your head bowed low
Remember the love that once we shared
Miss me, but let me go.

For this is a journey we all must take
And each must go alone.
It’s all part of the master plan
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick at heart
Go the friends we know.
Laugh at all the things we used to do
Miss me, but let me go.

When I Am Dead, My Dearest

When I am dead my dearest

Sing no sad songs for me

Plant thou no roses at my head

Nor shady cypress tree
Be the green grass above me

With showers and dewdrops wet

And if thou wilt remember
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not fear the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale

Sing on as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
