When I am Gone, release me, let me go I have many things to see and do.

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with so many tears.

Be thankful we had some many wonderful years.

I gave you all my love, and you can only guess.

Home much you have given me in happiness.

I thank you for all the love that you have shown.

But now it is time for me to travel on alone.

So grieve for me a while, if grieve you must.

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

So treasure the memories within your heart.

It’s only for a while that we must part.

I won’t be far away for life goes on.

And if you need me my Darling, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see me or touch me, I will be near.

And if you listen with your heart, you will hear.

And all my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you come this way alone.

I will greet you with a smile and Welcome Home my Love.

Just remember the first time I seen the smile on your face.

I fell in love with you with all my heart my Darling wife DD.
