Tomorrow

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.

My place was ready,
In heaven far above;
And that I’d have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
