A Letter from Heaven:
When tomorrow starts without me, and I'm not here to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, 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.
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.
