I seen the 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 It seems only a moment Since the angels took him from her arms She was left holding on to their tomorrow But as they lay him in the ground Her heart would sing without a song For the first time you can open your eyes And see the eyes without your sorrow No one knows the pain you left behind All the peace you can never find This weight you hold can't keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes A single lifetime time lays behind her As she tries to find her breath Just behind the door he'll find her Taking her hand he softly says For the first time you can open your eyes And see the eyes without your sorrow No one knows the pain you left behind All the peace you can never find This weight you hold can't keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes As I lay you down tonight Safe from the other side No one tears to cry For the first time you can open your eyes And see the eyes without your sorrow No one knows the pain you left behind All the peace you can never find This weight you hold can't keep you Welcome to the first day of your life Just open up your eyes
