A single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
A view from the day she said goodbye
It seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
She was left there
Holding on to their tomorrow
But as they lay him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
A single lifetime waves behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes
As I lay down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
