<< 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.* ~**~Birth sign: Pisces
