When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
When tomorrow starts without me, And I’m not here to see if the sun should rise And find your eyes 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 for me In heaven far above. And that I’d have to leave behind All those I dearly love. If I could relive yesterday, Just even for awhile, I’d say goodbye and kiss you And maybe see you smile. , when tomorrow starts without me, k we’re far apart, me you think of me, here in your heart.
Amen.
“Life
is what you make it.
And you made it Beautiful
