When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

by Nicholas - Pisces

<< 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 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.*
   *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 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,*
   *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 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 everytime you think of me,*
   *I'm right here, in your heart.*
   ~**~
