When tomorrow starts without me, and I am not there
to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all
filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did
today,
While thinking of the many things, we didn't get to
say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you will
miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to
understand,
That an angel came and called my name, and took me
by the hand,
And said my place was ready, in heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those I
dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my
eye
.
For all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do,
It almost seemed impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and
the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun
we had.
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you,
and maybe see you
smile.
But then I fully realized, that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories, would take the place of
me.
And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss
come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled
with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates, I felt so
much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me, from His
great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity, and all I have
promised you.
Today your life on earth is past, but here life
starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day's the same way, there's no
longing for the past.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things you knew
you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven, and now at last you're
free.
So won't you come and take my hand, and share my
life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think
we're far apart,
For every time you think of me, I'm right here, in
your heart.
