To Those I Love
A warm, touching song based, with some changes, on a poem of an unknown author. The song is not a farewell, but rather a "see you later" type of song. It expresses thanks for the love and joy he was given in life and a sense of consolation for those mourning. Arranged and performed by Jim West.

Lyrics
To Those I Love
C 2012
To those I love
When I am gone
Just release me, let me go into my afterglow.
To those I love
You must not tie me down with tears.
Let’s be happy that we had so many years.
I gave you my love and you can’t imagine
Just how much you made me happy.
I thank you for the love that you each have shown.
But now it’s time that I have traveled on alone.
Grieve if you must,
But let your grief be comforted with trust.
To those I love
It’s only for a while we part
So bless the memories within your heart.
And when you come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile
And a welcome home to those of you I love.
To those I love
It’s only for a while we part
So bless the memories within your heart.
And when you come this way alone
I will greet you with a smile
And a welcome home to those of you I love
And a welcome home to those of you I love.
Words based on a poem of an unknown author. Music composed by Bernard Leclerc in March of 2012. Arrangement, recording, and vocals by Jim West in March of 2013.
