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 did 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.
When tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart,
For every time you think of me.
I’m right there in your heart
