When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me
By Chelsey Murphy
2
When tomorrow starts without me, and Im not
there to see you
3
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, All
filled with the tears for me,
4
I wish so much you wouldnt cry, the way you did
today,
5
While thinking of the many things we didnt get
to say.
6
I know how much you love me, as much as I love
you,
7
And each time that you think of me, I know youll
miss me too.
8
But when tomorrow starts without me, please try
to understand,
9
That an angel came and called my name and took me
by the hand.
10
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above,
11
And that Id have to leave behind, all those
things I dearly love.
12
But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my
eye,
13
For all my life, Id always thought, I didnt
want to die.
14
I had so much to live for, so much yet to do,
15
It seemed almost impossible, that I was leaving
you.
16
I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones
and the bad,
17
I thought of all the love we shared, and all the
fun we had.
18
If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile,
19
Id say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you
smile.
20
But then I fully realized, that could never be,
21
For emptiness and memories, would take the place
of me.
22
And when I thought of worldly things, I might
miss tomorrow,
23
I thought of you, and when I did, my heart was
filled with sorrow.
24
But when I walked from Heavens gates, I felt so
much at home.
25
When God looked down and smiled at me, from his
great golden throne.
26
He said, This is eternity, and all Ive promised
you.
27
Today your life on Earth is past, and here it
starts anew.
28
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always
last,
29
And since each days the same day, theres no
longing for the past.
30
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and
so true,
31
Though there were times you did some things, you
know you shouldnt do.
32
But you have been forgiven, and now at last
youre free,
33
So wont you take my hand now and share My life
with Me.
34
So when tomorrow starts without me, dont think
were far apart,
35
For every time you think of me, Im right here in
your heart.
