When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me.
I wish you wouldn't cry the way you did today
While thinking of the many things we did not get to say.
I know how much you love me, as much as I love you.
Each time that you think of me, I know you will miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand
That an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand.
The angel said my place was ready in heaven far above
And that I would have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But when I walked through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home
When God looked down and smiled at me from His golden throne.
He said this is Eternity, and all I promised you
Today for life on earth is done, but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow for today will always last
And since each day's the exact same way, there is no longing for the past.
So when tomorrow starts without me, do not think we're apart
For every time you think of me, remember I'm right here in your heart.
