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 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 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.
