If Tomorrow Starts Without Me...
If 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
He said my place was ready
In
heaven far above
And that I had to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
But as 1 turned to walk away
A tear tell 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 left to do
it seamed almost impossible
That I was leaving you
I thought of all the yesterdays
The good and the bad
The thoughts 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 good-bye 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 of 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 above
He said, "This is eternity
And all l've promised you.
" Today your life on earth is
past
But here life starts anew
I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last
And since each day's the same way
there's no longing for the past
You have been so faithful
So trusting and so true
Though there were times
You did something
You knew you shouldn't do
But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free
So won't you come and take my
hand
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.
