When I am gone, release me, let me go

I have so many things to see and do

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears

Be happy that we had so many years.

I gave 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 travelled 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 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 me and I will come

Though you can’t see me or touch me I’ll be near

All of my love around you soft and clear.

And the, when you must come this way alone

I’ll greet you with smile and say
