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 the hand.
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
And that I’d have to leave behind, all those
things 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, and maybe
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, 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 life on Earth is past, and
here it starts anew”.
“I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
And since each day’s 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’re free,
So won’t 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.
