[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals
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
[Pre-Chorus 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
So I'll sing Hallelujah
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
And when God takes you back, he'll say Hallelujah, you're home
[Verse 2]
I fluffed the pillows, made the beds, 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
[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus 2]
So I'll sing Hallelujah
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
And when God takes you back, he'll say Hallelujah, you're home
[Bridge]
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh
[Chorus 3]

(Fadd9 = xx3213)
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
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
