WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
When tomorrow starts without me And I 'm not here to see
Ifthe sun should rise andfind your eyes
All filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn 't cry The Way you did today While thinking ofthe many things We did not get to say
I know how much you love me As much as I love you
Each time that you think ofme I know you will miss me too
When tomorrow starts with out 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 would have to leave behind All those I Dearly Love
But When I walked through Heaven 's Gates I felt so much at home
When GOD looked down and smiled at me From his golden throne
He said This Is Eternity And All I promised you Today for life on earth is done But Here it starts a new
I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And Since each day 's the exact same way There is no longing for the past
So When Tomorrow starts without me Do not think we 're apart
For every time you think ofme Remember I 'm right here in your heart
