A single 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 on to their tomorrow

But as they lay him in the 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 waiting there to hold and keep you

Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees

A 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 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 up your eyes

As I lay down tonight

Safe on the other side

No more tears to 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 first day of your life

Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees

eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
