I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
|
I threw the day old tea from the cup
|
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
|
Memories of a life that's been loved
|
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
|
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
|
Dad always told me, "don't you cry when you're down"
|
But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
|
|
Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
|
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
|
|
So I'll sing Hallelujah
|
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
|
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
|
Spread your wings as you go
|
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
|
You're home
|
|
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
|
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
|
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
|
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
|
|
I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
|
A life with love is a life that's been lived
|
|
So I'll sing Hallelujah
|
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
|
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
|
Spread your wings as you go
|
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
|
You're home
|
|
Hallelujah
|
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
|
You got to see the person that I have become
|
Spread your wing
|
And I know that when God took you back he said Hallelujah
|
You're home
|
