If 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 care for me,
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 thought, just for awhile, I'd say goodbye and hug you
and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized
that this could never be, for memories would
take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly things,
that 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 gate,
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 your life on earth is past but here it starts a new.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day there's no longing for the past.
So if tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me,
please know I'm in your heart.
