When Tomorrow Starts Without MeWhen tomorrow starts without meAnd I'm not there to see;If the sun should rise and find your eyesAll filled with tears for me.I wish so much you wouldn't cryThe way you did today;While thinking of the many thingsWe didn't get to say. I know how much you love meAs 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 mePlease try to understand,That an angel came and called my nameAnd took me by the hand. She said my place was readyIn 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 thoughtI 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 yesterdayJust even for awhile,I'd say goodbye and kiss youAnd maybe see you smile.But then I fully realizedThat this could never be;For emptiness and memoriesWould take the place of me. And when I thought of worldly thingsI 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 gatesI felt so much at home;When God looked down and smiled at meFrom 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 all 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 at times you did do 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 apartFor every time you think of me,I'm right here in your heart.
