When I am gone, just release me, let me go.. So I can move into my afterglow. You must not tie me down with your tears, Let's 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 traveled on alone. So grieve for me awhile, if grieve you must... Then let your grief be comforted with trust. It's only for a while that we must part, So bless the memories within your heart. And then when you must come this way alone, I'll greet you with a smile and a "WELCOME HOME".
