When tomorrow starts without me,And I’m not there to see,If the sun should rise and find your eyesAll filled with tears for me,I wish so much you wouldn’t cryThe 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,In heaven far above,And that I’d have to leave behindAll those I dearly love.But as I turned to walk away,A tear fell from my eyeFor 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 yesterdaysThe good ones and the bad,I thought of all the love we shared,And all the fun we had.If I could re-live yesterdayJust even for a while,I’d say good-bye and kiss youAnd 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.But when I walked through heaven’s gates,I felt so much at homeWhen God looked down and smiled at me,From His great golden throne.He said, “This is eternity,And all I’ve promised you.”Today your life on earth is past,But here life starts anew.I promise no tomorrow,But today will always last,And since each day’s the same wayThere’s no longing for the past.You have been so faithful,So trusting and so true.Though there were timesYou did some thingsYou knew you shouldn’t do.But you have been forgivenAnd now at last you’re free.So won’t you come and take my handAnd 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.-David Romano
