Below, you will find the lyrics for Supermarket Flowers by Ed Sheeran.
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 mom, there's a tear every time that I blink
Chorus 1
I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know
A heart that's broken 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
And when God takes you back
He'll say 'Hallelujah', you're home
Verse 1
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
Chorus 2
I hope that I see the world as you did
Chorus 2
A life with love is a life that's been lived
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 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
