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 a while.
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,
theres 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 your free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life with me?
~*~
So when tomorow starts without
me,
don't think we're far apart
for everytime you think of me,
I'm right there in your heart.
