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."
