Supermarket Flowers

[00:10.50] I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

[00:15.87] I threw the day-old tea from the cup

[00:21.98] Packed up the photo album Matthew had made

[00:26.77] Memories of a life that's been loved

[00:31.54] Took the "Get Well Soon" cards and stuffed animals

[00:36.90] Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

[00:43.28] Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"

[00:47.53] But, mom, there's a tear every time that I blink

[00:53.90] Oh, I'm in pieces. It's tearing me up but I know

[00:59.48] A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

[01:03.46] So, I'll sing Hallelujah

[01:07.18] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[01:12.53] When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

[01:16.24] Spread your wings as you go

[01:19.17] And when God takes you back

[01:24.76] He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

[01:35.65] I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

[01:40.71] Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

[01:47.10] John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek

[01:51.87] And wiped a tear from the side of my face

[01:58.25] And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know

[02:03.03] A life with love is a life that's been lived

[02:07.01] So, I'll sing Hallelujah

[02:11.26] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[02:16.33] When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

[02:20.06] Spread your wings as you go

[02:23.24] When God takes you back

[02:26.44] He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

[03:12.13] Hallelujah

[03:15.31] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[03:20.36] You got to see the person I have become

[03:24.34] Spread your wings and I know

[03:28.06] That when God took you back, he said, "Hallelujah, you're home"
