When tomorrow starts without me And I'm not here to see If the sun should rise and find your eyes 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 get to say I know how much you love me As much as I love you And each time 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 took me by the hand And said my place was ready In Heaven far above And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love I promise no tomorrow For today will always last And since each day's the same way There's no longing for the past So 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

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
