When I am gone, release me, let me go I have so many things to see and do You must not tie yourself to me with tears Be thankful for our many beautiful 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 its time I traveled on alone. So grieve a while, if grieve you must, Then let your grief be comforted by trust It's only for a time we must part So bless the memories within your heart I wont 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... "Welcome Home"
