“When tomorrow starts without me,

please try to understand, That an angel

came and called my name, and took

me by the hand; The angel said my

place was ready, In Heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind all

those I dearly love. But when I walked

through Heaven's Gates, I felt so much at home.

For God looked down, smiled at me, and told me 'Welcome Home."

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.”
