Never to perish spoil of fade; TOMORROW; When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see; If 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 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. When tomorrow starts without me please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. It said my place was ready in heaven far 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 my life, I'd always thought in your arms I'd lie. I had so much to live for, so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. 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 gully realise that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. When I walked through heavens gates I felt so much at home when God looked down and smiled at me from his golden throne. He said, "This is eternity and all I've promised you, for life on earth is passed but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow but today will always last, and since each days the same the same day, there's no longing for the past." So when tomorrow starts without me don't think we're far apart, for every time you think of me I'm right here in your heart.
