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