A letter from Heaven

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.

When tomorrow starts without me, don’t think were far apart. For every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.
