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 so much 
that you wouldn't cry the way that 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 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. 
I had so much to live for and 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, I 
thought for a while, I'd say good-by 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'd 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, God looked down on me from his great 
golden throne and said, "This is eternity and all 
I've promised you, today your life on earth is past, 
but here it starts a new; I promise no tomorrow's 
but today will always last since each day's the same 
there's no longing for the past.  But though I promise 
no tomorrow's on earth to anyone, so many live each 
day so sure of seeing one more sun.  Yet, each one 
knows that I will call and none knows just when but 
they never stop and pray and ask forgiveness for their 
sin, and many I have turned away so sad at heaven's
gate.  For when I called they weren't prepared and it 
was much too late.  But you have been so faithful, so 
trusting, and true though there were times you did 
something's you knew you shouldn't do.  But you have 
been forgiven and now at last you're free so won't you 
come and 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.
