Supermarket Flowers Akor

 

 

 

 

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, 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

And when God takes you back, he’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home

 

 

Ooh ooh ooh

 

Ooh ooh ooh

 

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

 

 

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
