Dad always told me, "Don't you cry when you're down"
But, Mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down, you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
When God takes you back
He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
Hallelujah
You got to see the person I have become
