As Tomorrow Starts Without Me

Written by:Thomas Beechey, Jr.As tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see,If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me;I dearly wish you wouldn't cry the way you did today,While thinking of all those things we never got to say.I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you,And each time when you think of me, I know you'll miss me too;But as tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand,The Savior softly called my name and led me by the hand,And said my place was ready in heaven far above,And I'd have to leave all those behind, all those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye,In all my life, I always thought I didn't want to die.I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do,It seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad,I thought of what we'd done and shared and all the fun we had.If I could relive yesterday for even just a while,I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.But it was then I realized that this could never be,For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.Though as I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home.When God looked down and smiled at me from His Golden Throne,He said, "This is your eternity and all I've promised you"Today your life on earth is past but here life begins anew."I promised no tomorrow, but today shall always last,"And since each day is the same, there's no longing for the past."So as tomorrow starts without me, don't think we're far apart,For each time that you think of me, I'm right here in your heart."
