When I am gone, release me, let me go.

I have so many things to see and do.

You mustnt 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,

So grieve a while to me if grieve you must,

Then let your grief be comforted with trust,

Its only for a while that we must part,

I wont be far away, for life goes on:

So, if you need me, call and I will come,

Though you cant see or touch me, Ill be near,

And if you listen with your heart, youll hear

All of my love around you must come this way alone,

Ill greet you with a smile and say,

Welcome Home.
