FmBbA single rose left to remember
FmBb
As a single tear falls from her eye
FmBb
Another cold day in December
EbCmA view from the day she said goodbye
FmBb
It seems it's only been a moment
FmBb
Since the angels took him from her arms
Fm
She was left there
Bb
Holding on to their tomorrow
Ab5Bb5
But as they lay him in the ground
Ab5Bb5
Her heart would sing without a sound
CmEb
For the first time you can open your eyes
Fm
And see the world without your sorrow
Ab
No-one knows the pain you left behind
CmEb
Or the peace you could never find
Fm
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Ab
Welcome to the first day of your life
FmBbFmBb
Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
FmBbA single lifetime waves behind her
FmBb
As she draws her final breath
FmBb
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Ab5Bb5
Taking her hand he softly says
CmEb
For the first time you can open your eyes
Fm
And see the world without your sorrow
Ab
No-one knows the pain you left behind
CmEb
Or the peace you could never find
Fm
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Ab
Welcome to the first day of your life
Db5
Just open up your eyes
F5
As I lay down tonight
F5
Safe on the other side
Db5Bb5
No more tears to cry
C5Eb
For the first time you can open your eyes
Fm
And see the world without your sorrow
Ab
No-one knows the pain you left behind
CmEb
Or the peace you could never find
Fm
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Ab
Welcome to the first day of your life
FmBbFmBb
Just open up your eyeeeeeeeeees eyeeeeeeeeees
