Words Unspoken

199

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

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you do.
While thinking of many things,
we didn't get to say.

I know how much you love me,
as much as I love you,
and each time 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 my hand.

And said my place was ready,
In the heaven, far above.
And that I will have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.

But as I turned to walk away
A tear escaped 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 to do.
It seemed almost Impossible
That I was leaving you.

I thought of all yesterday's
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 goodbye and that I love you
and may be see you smile.

But then I fully realised
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 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 your life is a past
but here starts a new one
You've been faithful and true though
there were times you did things
you knew you shouldn't.
But you've been forgiven
And now at last you're free"

So, won't you come and share my life with me?
Remember till you're there and
tomorrow starts without me remember that
we ain't far apart
For every time you think of me
I'm right here in your heart.
