When i am gone, release me and let me go, I have so much to see and do. You mustn't tie yourself to me in 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 each have shown, but now it's time i travelled on alone. So grieve awhile 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 within 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 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 a "WELCOME HOME"
