You musn’t tie yourself to me with tears.
Just 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 traveled alone.
So grieve a while 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 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.”
