WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME,
AND IM NOT THERE TO SEE
IF THE SUN SHOULD RISE AND FINE YOUR EYES
ALL FILLED WITH TEARS FOR ME;
I WISH SO MUCH YOU WOULDNT 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.
