When tomorrow starts without me

And I'm not there to see

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

Filled with tears for me

I wish you wouldn't cry

The way you did today

While I'm thinking of many things

We didn't 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 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 Here In Your Heart

Loving,

Your family
