When I am gone, release me, let go – I have
so many things to see and do. You musn’t
tie yourself to me with tears, be thankful
for our beautiful years.
I gave to you my love – you can only guess
how much you gave me in happiness. I thank
you for the love you each have shown, but
now it’s time I travel on alone.
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must,
then let your grief be comforted by trust.
It’s only for a time 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 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 say –
“Let's get this party started!”
