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 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,
Atear fell from my eye,
For all life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for
And 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,
I thought, just 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
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 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.
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 so true.
Though there were times you did some things
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 every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.
