If 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 todayWhile thinking of the many things, we didn't get to sayI know how much you love me, As much as I love youAnd each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me tooBut when tomorrow starts without me, Please try to understandThat an angel came and called my name, And took me by the handAnd said my place was ready, In heaven far aboveAnd that I'd have to leave behind; All those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away, A tear fell from my eyeFor all my life, I'd always thought, I didn't want to dieI had so much to live for, So much left yet to doIt seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving youI thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and the badI thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a whileI'd say good-bye and kiss you And maybe see you smile.But then I fully realized, That this could never beFor emptiness and memories, Would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrowI thought of you, and when I did, My heart was filled with sorrowBut 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 throneHe said, "This is eternity, And all I've promised you."Today your life on earth is past, But here life starts anew.I promise no tomorrow, But today will always lastAnd since each day's the same way, There's no longing for the past.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 life with me?So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apartFor every time you think of me, I'm right here, in your heart.
