A single rose left to remember

As a single tear falls from her eye

Another cold day in december

A year from the day she said goodbye

Seems it's only been a moment

Since the angels took him from her arms

And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow

But as they laid him in the ground

Her heart would sing without a sound

For the first time you can open your eyes

And see the world without your sorrow

Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find

Is waiting there to hold and keep you

Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes

A single lifetime lays behind her

As she draws her final breath

Just beyond the door he'll find her

Taking her hand she softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes

And see the world without your sorrow

Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find

Is waiting there to hold and keep you

Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight

Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry

For the first time you can open your eyes

And see the world without your sorrow

Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find

Is waiting there to hold and keep you

Welcome to the first day of your life
