"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
All filled with tears for me.

I wish you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today,
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say.

I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
Each time that you think of me,
I know you will 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.

The angel said my place was ready,
In Heaven far above.
And that I would have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.

But, when I walked through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me
From his golden throne.

He said this is eternity,
And all I promised you;
Today for life on earth is done,
But here it starts new.

I promise no tomorrow,
For today will always last,
And since each day’s the exact same way
There is no longing for the past.

So, when tomorrow starts without me,
Do not think we’re apart,
For every time you think of me,
Remember I’m right here in your heart.
