A 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 arms She was left there Holding on to their tomorrow But as they lay him in 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 there to hold and keep you Welcome to first day of your life Just open up your eyes
A single lifetime waves behind her As she draws her final breath Just beyond the door he'll find her Taking hand he softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes And see the world 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 the first day of your life Just open up your eyes
As I lay down tonight Safe on the other side No more tears 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 day of your life Just open up your eyes
