To the Ones I Loved… “If Tomorrow Starts Without Me”
If 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 many things we didn’t get to say.
I know how much you loved me as much as I loved 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 an angel came, called my name and took me by the hand
And said my place was ready in Heaven far above
And that I 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 left 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 and all the fun we had
If I could relive yesterday, just even for a while
I’d say good-bye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realize, 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 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 great golden throne
He said, “Lotah, this is eternity and all I’ve promised you
Today your life on earth is past, but His life 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.
You have been so faithful, so trusting and so true
There were times you did some things you knew you shouldn’t do
But you have been forgiven and now at last you’re free
So won’t you come and take my hand, and share my life with me
So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart,
I’m right here in your heart.
