If tommrow starts without me


And I'm not there to see;


If the sun should find your eyes


Are 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 you love me


As much as I love you


And each time I 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,


In Heavean for above,


And that I'd have to leave behind


All thoes I dearly love





But as I turned to walk away


A tear fell from my eye


For all my life I always thought


I didn't want to die.





I had so much to live for


So much yet to do


It seemed almost impossible


That I was leaving you





I thought of all the yesterdays


The good ones and the bad


I thought of all the love we shared


All the fun we had





If I could relive yesterday


Just even for a while


I'd say goodbye and kiss you


And maybe see you smile





But then I fully realized


That this could never be


For the emptiness and memories


Would take the place of me





And when I thought of the worldly things


I might miss come tomorrow


I thought of you and when I did


My heart was filled with sorrow





But when I walked through
Heaven's gates


I felt so much at home


When god looked down and smiled at me


From his golden thrown





He said "This is Eternity


And all I have promised you


Today for life on Earth is past


But here it starts anew





I promise no tomorrow


But today will always last


And since each day's the same way


There's no longing for the past





But you have been so faithful


So trusting and so true


Though there were times you did some things


You knew you shouldn't do





But you have been so forgiven

And now at last you are free

So won't you take my hand

And share my life with me?"

So when tomorrow starts without me

Don't think we're far apart


For everytime you think of me


I'm right here in your heart!

Don’t grieve for me; for now I'm free I'm following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard his call I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or pray.
Tasks left undone must stay that way; I found his peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void, then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss. Ah yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full, I've savored much.
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time has seemed all too brief; don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your heart, and shared with me God wanted me now...He set me free nikita xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
