'~/A'hen tomorrow starts without me, and I 'm not here to see... If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with the tears-for m e. 1 wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you'did today, while thinking o f the many things we didn't get to say.
1 know how m,uch you love me, as much as I love you, and each time you think o f me, I Know you'll miss me too. But when tomorrow starts without m e, please try to understand, that Jesus came and called my name and took me by the hand. And said my place was ready in heaven above, and that I'd have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye, for all my life, I'd always thought, it wasn t time to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought o f all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought o f all the love we shared and all the fun we had.
I f I could relive yesterday, I thought, just for a little while, I d say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile! But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place o f me. And when I thought o f worldly things that I d miss come tomorrow, I thought o f you, and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
But then I walked through heaven's gates and felt so much at hom e, as G od looked down and smiled at m e, from His great golden throne. He said, This is eternity and all I ve promised you. Today your life on earth is past but here it starts anew. I pnorrased no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day's the same day here, there's no longing for the p a st."
So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for every time you think o f me
I'm right here in your heart!
