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 knew how much you loved 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 angle came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
And said my place is ready
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All these 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 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 though 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 live on earth is past
But here life starts anew.
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 live with me."
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.
