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.
When tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name
and took me by the hand.
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 come tomorrow, I thought
of you, and when I did, my heart was
filled with sorrow.
When I walked through Heaven's gates
I felt so much at home.
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
but here it starts anew,
I promise no tomorrow
but today will always last.
So when tomorrow starts without me
don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,
I'm right there, in your heart.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you hang my first painting on the refrigerator,
And I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you feed a stray cat,
And I thought it was good to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I saw you make my favorite cake for me,
And I knew that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking,
I heard you say a prayer,
I believe in angels
that they're always
hovering near,
whispering encouragement
whenever clouds appear,
Protecting us from danger
and showing us the way,
performing little miracles
within our lives each day . . . .
