When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

Author: Rev. Russ Chamberlain

When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not there to see; If the sun should rise and find your eyes filled with tears for me.

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.

I thought of all the yesterdays, the Good ones and the bad, I thought of all the times we shared, and all the good times we had When I walked through heaven'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 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. But 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 take my hand and share my life with me?

I have a room that is ready for you to call your own. Family members and friends are just waiting to say welcome home and see you once again.

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.
