I took the
supermarket flowers
from the window sill
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 when God takes
you back he'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 said he'd drive
then put his hand
on my cheek
and wiped a tear
from the side of my face
And 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 when God takes
you back he'll say
"Hallelujah you're home"
Hallelujah
you were an angel
in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person
I have become
spread your wings
and I know that when
God took you back he said
"Hallelujah you're home"
