Supermarket Flowers

[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 When God takes you back He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home" [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know A life with love is a life that's been lived [Chorus] 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 When God takes you back He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home" [Bridge] (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh) [Chorus] 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"
