When tomorrow starts with out me,
and I'm not here to see
if the sun should rise and find your eyes
all 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.
But as I turned to walk away,
a tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for
and so much yet to do,
It seemed almost impossible
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
the good ones and the bad,
I thought of all the love we shared
and all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
I thought, just for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
that this could never be,
For emptiness and memories
would take the place of me.
And when I walked through Heaven's gate,
I felt so much at home,
When God looked down and smiled at me
from His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity,
and all I've promised you.
Today your life on earth is past
but here it starts anew.
I promise no tomorrows,
but today will always last,
And since each day's the same day,
there's no longing for the past.
But though I promise no tomorrows
on earth to anyone,
So many live each day so sure
of seeing 'one more sun.'
Yet each one knows that I will call
and no one knows just when,
But they will never stop to pray
and ask forgiveness for their sin.
For many I have turned away
so sad at Heaven's gate,
For when I called they weren't ready,
and it was much too late.
But you have been so faithful.
So trusting and so true,
Though there were times you did some things,
you knew you shouldn't do.
But you have been forgiven
and now at last you're free.
So won't you take my hand
and share my life 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 here in your heart.
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishin' still for one more day with you
One more day
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone
Keep the TV off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishin' still for one more day with you
One more day
One more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again
I know what it would do
Leave me wishin' still for one more day
Leave me wishin' still for one more day
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
One more day (one more day)
