When the sun rises in the morning
If I'm not with you to watch it shine,
Please promise me you'll remember
You're forever on my heart and mind.

As you go about your daily business
With the struggles this life can hold,
Please think of how much I love you
Let it warm you from the lonely cold.

Don't ever think that I have left you
Because I'm forever holding you tight,
I'm watching over you with the Lord
Giving you comfort through the night.

Our death here is only the beginning
Of a glorious life that will never end,
Please carry me in your heart for now
God promised we'd be together again
