Supermarket Flowers - Acoustic

Lyrics

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
 Poured 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 said 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've become
 Spread your wings as you go
 And when God took you back, he said
 "Hallelujah, you're home"
