        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.

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 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.

You have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true.
Though there were times
You did some things you shouldn't do.

But you have been forgiven,
And now at last you're free
To live and love and treasure
Your memories of me.

So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me
I'm right there, in your heart.
