FOREVER

Gone yet not forgotten

Although we are apart,

Your spirit lives within me.

Forever in my heart.

No farewell words were spoken,

No time to say good-bye

You were gone before we knew it,

And only God knows why.

If love could have saved you,

You have lived forever

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me

When tomorrow starts without me,

And I’m not here to see

If the sun should rise and find your

Eyes 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 you think of me,

I know you’ll miss me, too.

But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand

That Jesus 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’d have to leave behind

all those I dearly love.

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 you heart
