WHEN I COME TO THE END OF THE DAY, AND THE SUN HAS SET FOR ME,

I WANT NO RITES IN A GLOOM-FILLED ROOM. WHY CRY FOR A SOUL SET FREE?

MISS ME A LITTLE, BUT NOT TO LONG, AND NOT WITH YOUR HEAD BOWED LOW.

REMEMBER THE LOVE 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 A PART OF THE MAKERS PLAN, A STEP ON THE ROAD TO HOME.

WHEN YOU ARE LONELY AND SICK OF HEART, GO TO THE FRIENDS WE KNOW

AND BURY YOUR SORROWS IN DOING GOOD DEEDS. MISS ME BUT LET ME GO.
