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 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 as I turned to walk away
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life,I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for
So much 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 all the love we shared
And all the fun we had
If I could relive yesterday
Just even for awhile
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile
But then I fully realized
That this could never be
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss 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"I've promised you"
Today for life on earth is past
But here starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last
And since each day's the same day
There's no longing for the past
But you have been so faithful
So trusting and true
Though there were times you did somethings
You knew you shouldn't do
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me
Don't think we're far apart
For everytime you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.
