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 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 as I turned to walk away a tear fell from my eye
For all life I'd always thought I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for and 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 I thought just for awhile
I'd say goodbye 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 that I'd 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 for life on earth is past but 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 knew you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free.
So won't you 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.
