Romano 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 were far apart, For every time you think of me, I’m right there in your heart.
