If tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there 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 that 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.
