Supermarket Flowers
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
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 mom there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh I'm 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
When god takes you back we'll say,
"Hallelujah you're home"
Fluffed the pillows, made the bed, I stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did 'Cos 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
When god takes you back we'll say,
"Hallelujah you're home"
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mom
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know when
God took you back he said,
"Hallelujah you're home"
I threw the day old tea from the cup
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 mom there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh I'm 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
When god takes you back we'll say,
"Hallelujah you're home"
Fluffed the pillows, made the bed, I stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did 'Cos 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
When god takes you back we'll say,
"Hallelujah you're home"
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Ooo-ooo-ooo
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mom
You got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know when
God took you back he said,
"Hallelujah you're home"
