~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. 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 I dearly love. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day is the same way, there's no longing for the past. 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.
