When tomorrow starts
without me And I'm not there to see; The sun will rise and find your
eyes, All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today Remembering how
I'd lay my head In your lap that special way.
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 an
Angel came and called my name, And petted me with her hand. She
said my place was ready, In Heaven far above. And
that I'd have to leave behind, All those I dearly love. But, as I
turned to heel away, A tear fell from my eye. For all my life I
never thought, That I would have to die. I had so much to live
for, So many sits and downs to do, That it seemed almost
impossible, That I was leaving you.
I
thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad. I
thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.
Remember how I'd nudge your hand, And poke you with my nose. The
squirrel I would gladly chase, The bad guy "I'd bark and
hold". If I could relive yesterday, Just even for a little
while, I'd wag my tail and kiss you, Just so I could see you
smile. But, then I fully realized, That this could never be; For
emptiness and memories, Will take the place of me.
And
when I thought of treats and toys I might miss come tomorrow, I
thought of you and when I did My dog-heart filled with sorrow. But
then I walked through Heaven's Gate And felt so much at home; As
God looked down and smiled at me From His beautiful throne.
He said, This is eternity, And now we welcome you. Today your life
on earth is past,
But
here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow But today will always
last; For you see, each day's the same day There's no longing for
the past. Now you have been so faithful, So trusting, loyal and
true. Though there were times you did things, You knew you
shouldn't do. But good dogs are forgiven, And now at last you're
free. So won't you sit here by my side, And wait right here with
me?
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.
