~When Tomorrow Starts Without Me~

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.
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 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 love we shared,
and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday,
just even for awhile, 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 worldly things,
I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you, and when I did,
my heart was filled with sorrow. But when I walked through
heavens'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 for life on earth is past, but here it starts a new.
I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last,
and since each day's the same day,
there is no longing for the past.
But you have been so faithful, so trusting and so true.
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you should't do. But You have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So wont you take my hand and share my life with me?
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's a grave that rises o'er thy sward, Devizes,
  Where Moore lies sleeping from his land afar,
And a white stone flashes over Goldsmith's ashes
  In quiet cloisters by Temple Bar;
So where'er thou sleepest, with a love that's deepest,
  Shall thy land remember thy sweet song and thee,
        While the Bells of Shandon
        Shall sound so grand on
  The pleasant waters of the river Lee.
