Letter from Heaven When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here to see. If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today. While thinking of 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. When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart. For every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart.
