When I’m Gone
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m, not there to see
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you
And each time that you think of me
I know you’ll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand
That the angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
And said my place was ready
In heaven far above
And that I’d have to leave behind
All those I dearly love.
I had so much to live for
So much left to do
It seemed almost impossible
That I was leaving you
So 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
