Quotes of Comfort

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.

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 of life I'd always thought

I didn't want to die.

I had so much to live for

and so much yet to do,

it seemed almost 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,

I thought for just a while

I'd say goodby 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.

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

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."

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.
