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 thats been loved
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink
Dad always told me, 'Dont you cry when youre down'
But mum, theres a tear every time that I blink
Oh Im in pieces, its tearing me up, but I know
A heart thats broke is a heart thats been loved
So Ill sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down youd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back well say Hallelujah
Youre home
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says hed 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 thats been lived
So Ill sing Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down youd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back well say Hallelujah
Youre home
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down youde be there holding me up
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back, he said Hallelujah youre home
