When I am gone, release me, let me go.
I have so many things to see and do.
I gave you my love. You can only guess,
How much you gave to me in happiness.
I thank you for the love each of you has shown.
But now it's time I traveled on alone.
So grieve awhile for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It's only for awhile that we must part
So keep 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 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 alone,
I'll greet you with a smile, and say
"Welcome Home"
