A single rose left to remember
|
As a single tear falls from her eye
|
Another cold day in December
|
A year from the day she said goodbye
|
|
Seems it's only been a moment
|
Since the angels took him from her arms
|
And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow
|
But as they laid him in the ground
|
Her heart would sing without a sound
|
|
For the first time you can open your eyes
|
And see the world without your sorrow
|
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
|
And all the peace you could never find
|
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
|
Welcome to the first day of your life
|
Just open up your eyes
|
|
A single lifetime lays behind her
|
As she draws her final breath
|
Just beyond the door he'll find her
|
Taking her hand she softly says
|
|
For the first time you can open your eyes
|
And see the world without your sorrow
|
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
|
And all the peace you could never find
|
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
|
Welcome to the first day of your life
|
Just open up your eyes
|
|
Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
|
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry
|
|
For the first time you can open your eyes
|
And see the world without your sorrow
|
Where no one knows the pain you left behind
|
And all the peace you could never find
|
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
|
Welcome to the first day of your life
|
Just open up your eyes
|
