If tomorrow should start without me

entry picture

If my tomorrow should start without you

I'd shed a million tears and watch them fall

I'd find the grief unbearable

Unsure if I could cope at all

 

If my tomorrow should start without you

The inner pain I'd feel would be immense

You were my reason for living

My purpose and my present tense

 

If my tomorrow should start without you

I'm uncertain of just what I should do

The hope we held for our future

Would crumble into dust with you

 

If my tomorrow should start without you

I'm committed to just what must be

There is only one conclusion

Tomorrow would start without me.
