When I am gone, release me, let me go
I have so many things to see and do
You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears
Be thankful for our many beautiful years
I gave to you my love, you can only guess
How much you gave to me in happiness
I thank you for the love you always have shown
But now it's time I traveled on alone
So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must
Then let your grief be comforted by trust
It's only for a time that we must part
So bless the memories 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 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 say ─
"Welcome Home"
