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

Are 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 when I walked through Heaven's gate 

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 promised you

Today your life on earth is past

But here it starts anew

I promise no tomorrow

For 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!
