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 you my love. You can only guess How much you gave me happiness I thank you for your love you each have shown But now it’s time for me to travel on alone. And then when you must come this way alone I’ll greet you with a smile and say, “Welcome home”.
