If tomorrow starts without me,

don't let it stop for you.

The sun still will rise,

and you, my dear, must too.

šŸ•Šļø

If tomorrow starts without me,

I won't tell you not to cry.

For it would be a fruitless plea -

I know you hate goodbyes.

šŸ•Šļø

If tomorrow starts without me,

please know I'm watching from above.

I have found myself at peace,

and I'm leaving you my love.
