When I’m gone, let me go!
Let me go.
For I have so much to do and see!
Don’t cry when you think of me!
Be grateful for the beautiful years
During which I gave you my love!
You can only guess
The happiness you’ve brought me!
I thank you for the love everyone has shown me!
Now it’s time for me to travel alone.
For a short while, you may feel sad.
Trust will bring you comfort and consolation.
We’ll only be apart for a little while!
Let memories ease your pain!
I’m not far away and life goes on!
If you need me, just call and I’ll come!
Even if you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be there,
And if you listen to your heart, you’ll feel clearly
The sweetness of the love I’ll bring!
When it’s time for you to go,
I’ll be there to welcome you,
Don’t go to my grave to weep!
I’m not here, I’m not sleeping!
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the shimmering snow crystals,
I am the light that crosses the wheat fields,
I am the gentle autumn rain,
I am the birds awakening in the morning calm,
I am the star that shines in the night!
Don’t go to my grave to weep
I’m not here, I’m everywhere.
