To Those I Love and To Those Who Love Me. When I am gone, release me, let me go! I have so many things to see and do You must not tie yourself to me with tears, But be happy we had so many years I gave you my love and you'll never Know how much you gave me in happiness; I thank you for the Love you each have shown But now it's time that I travel on alone So grieve for awhile, if you must Then let your grief be comforted and quieted by trust For it's only for awhile 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 cannot hear or touch me, I will be near and if you listen with your heart, You will 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."
