"When Tomorrow Starts Without Me"
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand;
The angel said my place was ready in heaven far above
And that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly love.
But when I walked through Heaven's gates, I felt so much at home,
For God looked down, smiled on me, and told me, i/Welcome Home."
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.
