i PROMiSE NO TOMORROW

i WiSH SO MUCH YOU WOULDNT CRY

THE WAY YOU DiD TODAY

WHiLE THiNKiNG OF THE MANY THiNGS

WE DiDNT GET TO SAY



i KNOW HOW MUCH YOU LOVE ME

AS MUCH AS i LOVE YOU

AND EACH TiME THAT YOU THiNK OF ME

i KNOW YOULL MiSS ME TOO



BUT WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WiTHOUT ME

PLEASE TRY TO UNDERSTAND

THAT AN ANGEL CAME AND CALLED MY NAME

AND TOOK ME BY THE HAND



AND SAiD MY PLACE WAS READY

iN HEAVEN FAR UP ABOVE

AND iD HAVE TO LEAVE BEHiND

ALL THOSE i DEARLY LOVE



BUT AS i TURNED TO WALK AWAY

A TEAR FELL FROM MY EYE

FOR ALL LiFE, i ALWAYS THOUGHT

i WOULD WANT TO DiE



i HAD SO MUCH TO LiVE FOR

AND SO MUCH LEFT TO DO

iT SEEMED ALMOST iMPOSSiBLE

THAT i WAS LEAViNG YOU



i THOUGHT OF ALL THE YESTERDAY'S

THE GOOD ONES AND THE BAD

i THOUGHT OF ALL THE LOVE WE SHARED

AND ALL THE FUN TiMES WE HAD



iF i COULD RE-LiVE YESTERDAY

i THOUGHT, JUST FOR AWHiLE

iD SAY GOODBYE AND HUG YOU

AND MAYBE SEE YOU SMiLE



BUT THEN i FULLY REALiZED

THAT THiS COULD NEVER BE

FOR EMPTiNESS AND MEMORiES

WOULD TAKE THE PLACE OF ME



AND WHEN i THOUGHT OF THE WORLDLY THiNGS

iD MiSS COME TOMORROW

i THOUGHT OF YOU AND WHEN i DiD

MY HEART FiLLED WiTH SORROW



BUT WHEN i WALKED THROUGH HEAVEN'S GATES

i FELT SO MUCH AT HOME

WHEN GOD LOOKED DOWN AND SMiLED AT ME

FROM HiS GREAT GOLDEN THRONE



HE SAiD, "THiS iS ETERNiTY

AND ALL iVE PROMiSED YOU,

TODAY FOR LiFE ON EARTH iS PAST

BUT HERE STARTS ANEW



i PROMiSE NO TOMORROW

BUT TODAY WiLL ALWAYS LAST

AND SiNCE EACH DAYS THE SAME DAY

THERES NO LONGiNG FOR THE PAST



BUT YOU HAVE BEEN SO FAiTHFUL,

SO LOViNG AND SO TRUE

THOUGH THERE WERE TiMES WHEN YOU DiD

SOME THiNGS YOU KNEW YOU SHOULDNT DO



BUT YOU HAVE BEEN FORGiVEN

AND NOW AT LAST YOURE FREE

SO WONT YOU TAKE MY HAND

AND SHARE THiS LiFE WiTH ME?"



SO WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WiTHOUT ME

DONT THiNK WERE FAR APART

FOR EVERYTiME YOU THiNK OF ME,

iM RiGHT HERE iN YOUR HEART.
