For Those I Love, For Those Who Love Me… 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, But let my spirit calm your fears, I gave you my love. You can only guess How much you gave me in happiness. 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 bless the memories that lie within your heart. I won't be far away, for life goes on. So if you need me, call and I will come. Though you can't see me or touch me, I'll be near, And if you listen with your heart, you’ll hear All of my love around you soft and clear.
