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

I know how much you love me as much as I love you

And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll 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 I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love

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

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.
