If Tomorrow Starts Without Me

 

If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see. If the sun rises 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 I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye for all my life, I’d thought I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for, So much left to do, It seemed almost impossible,

That I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, The good ones and bad,

The thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.

If I could only relive yesterday, Just even for a while, I’d say goodbye and kiss you

And maybe see you smile. But then I 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 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 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 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 some

Things 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?

But when tomorrow starts without me, Don’t think we’re far apart,

I’m right here, In your heart.
