Those Who Loved Me When I am gone, release me and let me go. I have so many things to see and do, You must not tie yourself to me with tears, be thankful for our beautiful years. I gave 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 is only for a while that we must part, so bless the memories within your hearts. 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 will hear all my love around you soft and clear, and then when you must come this way alone, I will greet you with a smile, and say …..Welcome Home….
