Supermarket Flowers (Live at the BRITs) Lyrics By Ed Sheeran
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
I threw the day old tea from the cup
Packed up the photo albums Matthew had made
Memories of a life that's been loved
I took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
I poured the old ginger beer down the sink
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 tearin' 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 mum
When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back, he'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, and stacked the chairs up
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John said he'd drive, then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
And I hope that I see the world as you did
'Cause I know a life with love is a life that's been lived
So, Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
When I fell down you'd be there holdin' me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back, he'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home"
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
And you 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"
