Supermarket flowers [cover]

I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw your day old tea from the cup
I packed up the photo album Robin had made
Memories of a life that's been loved

I took your get well soon cards and stuffed animals
Poured your old ginger beer down the sink
You always told me, "don't you cry when you're down"
But mom, 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 mom
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 sing, "Hallelujah, you're home"

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, and 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 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 mom
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 sing, "Hallelujah, you're home"

[ad lib]

Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mom
You've got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings as you go
And when god takes you back
I'll sing, "Hallelujah, you're home"
