A Letter From Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me,

And I am 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.

When 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 that 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.
