Capo on 1st fret
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
view from the day she said goodbye
It seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
She was left there
Holding on to their tomorrow
But as they lay him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
[Chorus]
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyeeeeees, eyeeeeees
[Verse]
single lifetime waves behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says
[Pre-Chorus]
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
[Chorus]
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
[Bridge]
Just open up your eyes
As I lay down tonight
Safe on the other side
No more tears to cry
[Pre-Chorus]
For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
No-one knows the pain you left behind
[Chorus]
Or the peace you could never find
It's waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyeeeeees, eyeeeeees
Eyeeeeees, eyeeeeees
