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 you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me, too.
But when tomorrow starts without me,
please try to understand …
That Jesus came and called my name
and took me by the hand,
And said my home was ready
in Heaven far above …
And that I’d have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart …
For every time you think of me,
I’m right there in your heart.
