WHEN 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 hand,

And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I’d have to leave behind

All those I dearly love.

So when tomorrow starts without me,

Don’t think we’re far apart,

For everytime you think of me,

I’m right here in your heart.
