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 life, I'd always thought,
I
didn't want to die.
I
had so much to live for,
so
much 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 awhile,
I'd
say goodbye 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
for life on earth is past,
but
here it starts anew.
I
promise no tomorrow,
but
today will always last,
and
since each day's the same day,
there's
no longing for the past.
But
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 take my hand
and
share my life with me?
So
when tomorrow starts without me,
don't
think we're far apart,
for
everytime you think of me,
I'm
right here, in your heart.
