When tomorrow starts without
me,
And I'm 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'll 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 seemed almost
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've 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.
