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 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,
and all the fun we had.

If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.

But then I fully realized,
that this could never be,
for only emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.

When I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home
And God looked down and smiled at me,
from His majestic golden throne,

He said, "This is eternity
and all I've promised you,
for today, 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 day,
there's no longing for the past."

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.
