If 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 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 and called my name
And took me by my paw
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 my live I’d always thought
I didn’t want to die
I had so much to live for
So much left 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 al while
I’d just 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


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 your live on earth is past
But here life starts a new
I promised no tomorrow
But today will always last
And since each day’s the same way
There’s no longing for the past

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
