For Those I Love When I am gone, release me, let me go You musn't tie yourself to me with tears, 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 by trust. It's only for awhile that we must part, So bless the memories that lie within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on, So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see me 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 "Welcome Home"
