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 left yet to do,
It almost seemed
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 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.
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
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 your life on earth
is past,
But here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But
today will always last,
And since each day's
the same way
There's no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,
So
trusting and so true.
Though there were times
you did some things
You knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
And
now at last you're free.
So won't you come and
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.
