A Letter From Heaven

When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not here to see
If the sun should rise and find you
With eyes filled of tears for me

I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today
While thinking of the many things
We did not get to say

I know you'll always love me
As much as I love you
And every 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'll be right there in your heart
