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 things I dearly love.If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while,I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.But then I fully realize, that could never be,For emptiness and memories, would take the place of me.And when I thought of worldly things, I might miss come tomorrow,I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow.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 your life on earth is past, and here it starts anew.""You have been so faithful, so trusting, and so true,Though there were times you did some things you know you shouldn't do.""But you have been forgiven, and now at last your free,So won't you take my hand now, and share My life with Me."So when tomorrow starts without me, don't think that we're apart,For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.
