When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see.
The sun that shines upon your eyes, which are filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things we didn't do or say.
I know how very 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 don't think we're far apart for every time you think of me I'm right there in your heart.
