I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
Oh,
I'm in pieces,
it's tearing me up But I know a heart that's broke is a heart
that's been loved So I'll sing hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mom
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 bed,
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
So I'll sing hallelujah You were an angel in the shape of my mom
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
You were an angel in the shape of my mom
You've got to see the person I have become
Spread your wings and I know that when God took you back
He said, Hallelujah,
you're home
