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