When tomorrow starts without me

When tomorrow starts without me,
and I’m not there to see;
when 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 might that day,
while thinking of the many things,
we thought but didn’t 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 that day starts without me,
please try to understand,
that all of us must be recalled,
and led back out of this land.

and said that I was ready,
from time, to move above,
and that I’d have to leave behind,
all those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
for all my life,
I’d always thought,
I didn’t want to die.

I had so much to live for,
so much still I did not do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I would be leaving you.

I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive just one yesterday,
just if only for a awhile,
I’d use that time to kiss you
and hope to see your smile.

But then I fully realise,
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 move on through that door,
I felt so much at peace.
and I know that there are greater things,
when this time on earth does cease,

For there really is no tomorrow,
but today will always last,
and every day is really this day,
and become eternal once in the past.

And you have been so faithful,
so trusting and so true.
Though there were times
we each did some things,
we knew we shouldn’t do.

But you have been forgiven
and now at last you’re free.
and as you move on with your life,
I trust that you will forgive me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
don’t think we’re far apart,
for everytime you think of me,

I’m right here,
inside your heart.
