Supermarket Flowers

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 says 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 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
