When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not here to see, If the
sun should rise and find your eyes 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 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 down 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 I had so much to live
for, and yet so much to do. It seemed almost impossible that I was
leaving you I thought of all the love we shared, and all the fun we
had. 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.
