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 goodbyeSeems 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 soundFor the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behindAnd 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, eyesA single lifetime lays behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly saysFor the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behindAnd all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your lifeJust open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cryFor the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behindAnd 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, eyes, eyes, eyes
