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