An Elegy in E-Sharp
ŠNia

Eddie was a musical man
Danced and sang, amassed many fans
Gifted from the start
And chose to embark
On a journey
That made music history
His art and dreams
Were present when he would sing
It's plain to see
What he chose to be
An artiste with class
And his talent outlasts
Today may be
The day of his passing
Still, I pray he still knows
His legacy lives and grows



"Deep and Quiet Love" from Eddie Kendricks by Eddie Kendricks

When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom filled room,
Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little - but not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared;
Miss me - but let me go.

For this is a journey that we all must take,
And each must go alone.
It's all part of the Master's plan,
A step on the road to home.

When you are lonely and sick of heart,
Go to the friends we know;
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me - but let me go.
