Memorial Tribute
When 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 the many things,
We didn't get to say.
As much as I love you,
and each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand.
He saw my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.
