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.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above, And that I'd have to leave behind, all those things I dearly love. And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tom:orrow, 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 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.
