When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
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.
He said my place
was ready
In heaven far above
And that I would 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 always thought
I did not want to die.
I had so much to
live for
So much yet to do
It seemed almost impossible
That I way 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 would say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully
realized
That this cold never be
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me
And when I
thought of worldly things
That I might miss the come of tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I
walked through heavens gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me
Form his great golden throne.
He said,
"This is eternity
And all I've promised you.
Today for life on earth is past
But here starts anew."
"I promise
no tomorrow,
But today will always last.
And since each says the same day,
There's no longing for the past."
"But you've
been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were time you did some things
You know you shouldn't do."
"But you've
been forgiven,
And now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand,
And share your 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.
