When tomorrow starts without me, And I am not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, And filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn’t cry, The way you did that day, While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say, I know how much you loved me, As much as I love you, And each time that you think of me, I know you’ll miss me to, 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 loved.
