When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
Filled with tears for me
I wish you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We never got to say
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
A host of angels called my name
And took me by the hand
They sang 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 thought
I didn't want to die
I 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 times we'd had
When I walked through heaven's gates
I felt so much at home
He looked down and smiled at me
From his great big golden throne
You are forgiven and you are free
Sang forth the celestial choir
Won't you share your life eternally
And not dwell in the prior?
I promise no tomorrow
Although today will always last
Each day is the same day
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
I'm right here in your heart
When tomorrow starts without me
And we both know that it will
Know although I am gone
Our love lives even still
