Supermarket Flowers

[00:08.65] I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill

[00:14.38] I threw the day-old tea from the cup

[00:19.90] Packed up the photo album Matthew had made

[00:24.92] Memories of a life that's been loved

[00:31.13] Took the "Get Well Soon" cards and stuffed animals

[00:35.90] Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

[00:41.17] Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"

[00:46.39] But, mom, there's a tear every time that I blink

[00:52.38] Oh, I'm in pieces. It's tearing me up but I know

[00:58.13] A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

[01:02.38] So, I'll sing Hallelujah

[01:06.39] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[01:11.63] When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

[01:15.63] Spread your wings as you go

[01:18.13] And when God takes you back

[01:20.90] He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

[01:29.38] I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up

[01:39.93] Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

[01:45.38] John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek

[01:50.38] And wiped a tear from the side of my face

[01:56.63] And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know

[02:01.88] A life with love is a life that's been lived

[02:06.13] So, I'll sing Hallelujah

[02:10.41] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[02:14.65] When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

[02:19.65] Spread your wings as you go

[02:22.13] When God takes you back

[02:25.38] He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"

[03:09.91] Hallelujah

[03:14.13] You were an angel in the shape of my mum

[03:18.38] You got to see the person I have become

[03:23.88] Spread your wings and I know

[03:26.39] That when God took you back, he said, "Hallelujah, you're home"
