To Those I Love, And Those Who Love Me When I am gone, release me, and let me go. I won't be far away, for life goes on. I have so many things to see and do. So if you need me, call and I will come. You mustn't tie yourself to me with tears. Though you can't see or touch me, I'll be near. I gave you my love. You can only guess how much you gave to me in happiness. And if you listen with your heart, you'll hear all my love around you soft and clear. I thank you for the love you each have shown. But now it's time I travel on alone; and when you must come this way I'll greet you with a smile and say... Welcome home.
