When 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
The way 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 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 took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
To wait for the Kingdom from 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,
So much left 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,
Just for a little while,
I'd say good bye 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 might miss come tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.

Later, when I will walk before the SOVEREIGN's Throne,
I will feel so much at home.
When our CREATOR looks and smiles at me,
>From His great golden throne,
He will say, "This is that Kingdom,
That I have promised you long ago."
Your other life on earth is past,
But here life starts anew.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But when you asked you were 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 every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
