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 her arms She was left there Holding to their tomorrow But as they lay him in the ground Her heart would sing without a sound
For the first time you 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 hold and keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes
single lifetime waves behind her As she draws her final breath Just beyond the door he'll find her Taking her hand he softly says
For the first time you can open your eyes And 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 to the first day of your life Just open your eyes
As I lay down tonight Safe on the other side No more tears to cry
For the first time 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 first day of your life Just open your eyes
