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, she took me by the hand
She 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 life I’d always thought I didn’t want to die
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 a while
I’d say goodbye and kiss you then I could see you smile
But then I fully realized that could never be
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me
And when I thought of worldly things
That I might miss come tomorrow
I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow
But when I walked through heavens 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 life on Earth is past and here it starts anew
I promise no tomorrow but today will always last
And since each day is the same day there’s no longing for the past
But you have been so faithful so trusting and so true
Though there were times you did some things you know you shouldn’t do
But you have been forgiven and now at last you are free
So wont you take my hand now and share my life with me
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
So no more tears I want to see, just a fleeting grin
When you remember how we were, the trouble we got in
So go on with your life now and keep smiling all the way
For there is more to your life, don’t let it pass you by.
So when tomorrow starts without me just remember I am near
To guide you and love you like I always did, and take away your fear
