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.
Be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you love, you can only guess,
How much you gave me in happiness.
And, I thank you for the love you 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 while that we must part,
So trust 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 in memories, I'll be near.
All my love all around you, soft and clear.
