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
