A single rose left to remember As a single tear falls from her eye Another cold day in December A year from the day she said goodbye
It seems it's only been a moment Since the angels took him from her arms And she was left there Holding on to their tomorrow But as they laid 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 And no one knows the pain you left behind And all 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
A single lifetime lays behind her As she draws her final breath And 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 And no one knows the pain you left behind And all 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 And no one knows the pain you left behind And all 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
