| 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 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 and so much I'd 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, I thought, just 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. Today my 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. 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" |

| "PLEASE DON'T CRY" Please don't cry because I'm gone, for I am just away I did not die and never will, I'm with you everyday. It's true that I have left the earth, and live in spirit here With a peace and love I can't explain I'm happy, I have no fear. Who I was, I still am now, even better than before Heaven holds such beauty here with mountains, trees and more. Please don't cry, just speak of me the way you used to do Make our memories happy ones that hug and comfort you. Remember me with happiness, don't grieve because I'm gone In Heaven I am growing still, and my life continues on. Please don't cry because I share all you say and do In every moment of every day; My love is with you, too. |

| Soms is er zoveel wat we voelen Maar zo weinig wat we kunnen zeggen Duizenden vragen tijdens een leven Waarop antwoorden soms zo moeilijk zijn Ze hoeven nu niet meer te worden gegeven Want voorbij is het zoeken, gestopt alle pijn We denken aan je terug Liever niet aan de dagen van pijn en verdriet We denken aan je terug, In de glimlach van de zon Toen je zo kon genieten En je alles nog kon Je denkt dan aan het verleden Hoe eens alles was Het doet dan zeer in dit heden De stapjes terug telkens een pas Ik hoop dat je nu veilig bent Wanneer ik zoek en vind je niet Ik vraag het aan een lege lucht Of je mij wel hoort en ziet Al weet ik dat je veilig bent Mijn hart wil er nog niet echt aan Dat jij die voor ons zo belangrijk was Nu voorgoed bent heengegaan Ik weet dat je nu veilig bent We zien je hier nooit meer Maar in ons leef je altijd voort Want in ons zul je altijd worden herkend..... Dag Mam, bedankt voor alles.. Lya |

| Time slips by but memories stay Quietly thought of every day A little tribute small and tender Always loved, always missed and always remembered... |
