IF TOMORROW
STARTS WITHOUT ME
"If 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
While
thinking of the many things,
I know how
much you love me,
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 said my
place was ready,
And that I'd
have to leave behind
But as I
turned to walk away,
For all my
life, I'd always thought,
I had so
much to live for,
it seemed
almost impossible,
I thought of
all the yesterdays,
The good
ones and the bad,
I thought of
all that we shared,
If I could
relive yesterday,
I'd say
good-bye and kiss you
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
some tomorrow,
I thought of
you, and when I did,
My heart was
filled with sorrow.
But when I
walked through heaven's gates,
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,
but here
life starts anew.
But today
will always last,
and since
each day is the same way,
There's no
longing for the past.
So when
tomorrow starts without me,
don't think
we're far apart,
For every
time you think of me,
