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 you
think of me I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me, try
to understand, that an angel came and
called my name and took me by the hand,

He said my place was ready in Heaven
far above, and that I'd have to leave
behind all those I dearly love.

I had so much to live for and so much
yet to do, it seemed almost impossible
that I was leaving you.

But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell
from my eye, for all my life, I'd always
thought I didn't want to die.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the good
ones and the bad, I thought of all the love
we shared and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday, I thought,
just for a 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 of me.

When I thought of worldly things I'd miss
come tomorrow, 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,

He said, "This is eternity and all I've
promised you. Today for life on earth is
past but here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, but today will
l always last, and since each day's the same
day, there's no longing for the past. 

But you have been so faithful, so trusting,
and so true. Though there were times you
did some things you knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven and now at
 last you're free, so won't you take my
hand and share my life with me?"

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.
