to you


"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 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.

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 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 all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for
So much left 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 that 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 realized
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories would take the place of me.

And when I thought of you,
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 great golden throne.

He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you.
"Today your life on earth is past, but here life starts
anew.

I promise no tomorrow
But today will always last, and since each day is the
same way
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."

There is no right time to do the wrong thing; there is no wrong time to tell someone you care that you love him/her.
