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 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 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 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 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 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 (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh) (Ooh) 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
