Miss me a little but not too long, And not with your head bowed low. Remember the love that we once shared, Miss me but let me go. For this is a journey we all must take, And each must go alone. It's all part of the Master's plan, A step on the road to home. When you are lonely and sick at heart, Go to the friends we know, And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me but let me go."
