A Letter from Heaven 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. 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.
