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 loved me, As much you love me, 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.
