When tomorrow starts without me, and Im 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 didnt 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 youll 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 Id have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But when I walked through heavens gate, I felt so much at home When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne
He said "This is eternity and all Ive promised you" Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow for today will always last And since each days the same way, theres no longing for the past.
So when tomorrow starts without me, dont think were far apart For every time you think of me, Im right here in your heart.
Our Thanks We would like to express our sincere appreciation for the prayers, visits and love for Mrs. Eula M. Johnson throughout her life. For the kind words and gestures of sympathy during our bereavement, we are grateful. Your many acts of kindness will always be remembered with deepest gratitude.
