Tomorrow
"When tomorrow starts with out me and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes are filled with tears for me.
I wish so mush you did not 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,
And each time you think of me I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts with out me please try to understand,
That an Angel came and called my name and took me by the hand,
And said my place was in Heaven far above,
And that I have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
For every time you think of me, I'm right here in your heart."
