aligncenterAs much as I love you,

aligncenterAnd each time that you think of me,

aligncenterI Know youll miss me too.

aligncenterBut when tomorrow starts without me,

aligncenterPlease try to understand,

aligncenterThat an angel came and called my name,

aligncenterAnd took me by the hand,

aligncenterAnd said my place was ready,

aligncenterIn heaven far above,
