About Ed Sheeran:

Did anyone notice that he was trying to hold back tears the entire performance? Such a powerful song.

@@HarryPotter-kg3ds I love him more for his vulnerability
It’s understandable to be honest.. but he’s still so strong to be able to sing this song without crying. We love you Ed ❤️
Harry Potter This song is actually about his grandmother, not mother.
Yes 😥😥😥😥
Ed Sheeran just has the gift of writing songs that are so relatable to so many people. The best thing about him is that fame didn’t change him and he’s still the humble guy he was before he was famous.
Agree..
Horses 4 Corses you said it.
Can 't say better. You are right
DUde..no! Ed admits that whatever he has become, has become out of practice and determination. go check out his very early singing vids...you wont be able to believe that it's the same person who is singing in this video with such a huge crowd. Nobody has a gift. GOD is not partial. It's only our efforts that allow us to harness the oppurtunities that god provides us and turn them into gifts.

“A heart that’s broken is a heart that’s been loves” there has never been a truer sentence 🥺💗
*loved
so true it’s beautiful
*broke
A man who's grieving was one that was glad.
You are absolutely right
I'm 63 years old. My parents and grandparents are long gone. Still I have a real difficult time getting through this song, no matter how many times I've heard it.
I lost my brother he was my big brother and I feel the same
It must feel very lonely at times. I am hoping for your happiness, comfort, and that there are good people around you helping you get through life.
I lost my Dad at age 87 and Mum at age 85 and this beautiful song reminds me SO MUCH of Mum. It is so powerful and the ache to have her back for one more day is overpowering. She is indeed an Angel now, but I want her back, is that so wrong of me ?? I am in my early 70's now, but still miss my beloved parents. I think I always will.
I lost my mom when I was 8 and was on her hospital bed when she went. It’s song makes me bawl every time I hear it but also makes me smile
#TjMcD: Your family is a true family. Give it toward your sons, daughters and all your grandchilds!
Because the fidelity and love are most important things of our live.
He once said his only ambition is to leave this world as a good person.. Doesn't need to care what haters speak about him. one of the best music artists ever born.
A Hart that's been broken is a hart that's been loved
@@paulmccormick2639 you got 1 dislike from me
Trueeee
Don't make me cry so much ,I love Ed the most 😭
perhaps I'm naive, but I have no idea how or why he could have haters.
It's very touching for me. He had nothing. And now? Do you see this crowd? It's hard to believe. From the street to the big stage. Now he has love, fame and money. He can do whatever he wants. But he is still the same funny guy who played on the street in the socks.
Ed proved that dreams come true and that we should never give up. I wish him all the best.
Edit: He wasn't homeless and I was wrong. Sorry for my mistake. ;)
But I still admire him a lot.
Belle nicely said ♥
He wasn't homeless per se. His Mum's a jeweller and his Dad's an art curator. He came from a well-off family, but chose to leave and make a life of his own and succeeded with his talent. :)
He’s as middle class as you get. Don’t mistake busking for being homeless. Very comfortable upbringing
@@Mai-on6dc You're right! Sorry my mistake. ;)
@@benkennedy1061 still moved to London by himself, spent his days and night playing gigs and busking and when he couldnt find a sofa to sleep on he'd sit on the circle route on the underground till it was morning. Man's earned it
My gosh, this kid Ed comes out with a hit after hit...
coltdogster, I'm pretty she knows that. She was referring to the singles (I wish this was a single).
coltdogster, Garbage?? I think the fuck not.
coltdogster, When tf Ed's music became garbage, you piece of garbage?! 🖕
coltdogster....or maybe an "overrated garbage" for you but not for 15M other homo sapiens.

Im the only one to rap this like eninem ?
😊@@ChickenLP4ever
So was all this what you expected. It's different when you listen to the music you love. Never expect it anyway.
Beautiful Tribute 🕊️
(The song is actually about Ed's grandmother and is written from the point of view of his mum. )

Ed told...
“She was one of the nicest women you’d ever meet and she was my mom’s mom. It was written for my mom’s point of view; it was choosing loads of specific things and then just finishing it as a song.”
“My grandmother was very ill during the time I was making the record and passed away at the end of me making the record so we wrote this song as a tribute and just left it on.

Stay strong! She's watching you from far ❤️
I'm crying. This is art. Pure art.
Me to im crying

Jordan Poyant we are too
This song was never meant to be a hit/single and I love that. It's incredibly personal and something we, as fans and humans, can, unfortunately, relate to. Brilliant and beautiful piece of music, Ed. Thank you
My beautiful mum passed away on Christmas Day last 2017. No one,no one can can truely appreciate how much depth and meaning this song has for me....God bless you Ed Sheeran.
My beautiful mom left us on the 10th of Dec 2017. I think God wanted to angels, so he called them back. 'Hallelujah! You guys have come back home,' he might have said. Take care, stay strong. May our goddesses rest in peace. 💙
Two*.
Also, this goes without saying, but yes God bless Ed Sheeran 💙
Janelle turpin same death anniversarry of my brother. 😔😔😔
Thoughts are with you, lost my mum november 2017, this song gets me thinkin of her everytime i hear it, thanks Ed n God bless
My mom died on the day before Easter and we had to give my puppy away a day before that and he was the only thing keeping me alive so I’ll go kill my self cuz that’s what everyone tells me to do
If you are reading this.
I hope something amazing happens to you today.
I really do.
NikkdPlay it didn't
Is it me or I've seen this comment in somewhere else?
NikkdPlay you too :3
NikkdPlay thank you
Cheers man
He's gonna go down as a legend - great songwriter and performer. Timeless.
Timeless - that's the reason why he'll never go down
Jonny Zywiciel He already is a legend. In his own time.
Jonny Zywiciel Will you sub to me?
Agreed!
Jonny Zywiciel Agreed. His song seems better than Train's song written about when the lead singer of Train lost his mother.
The tears are running down my cheeks. It's been four years now since I lost my Mom and this encompasses all of my feelings. Ed, you have such a gift...don't ever stop, you touch my heart.
So sorry about that, please take heart💞💞
How are you feel now?
Hey... Marg😘🥰
@@mileshernandez6832 Hey there Miles!
Would love to exchange more conversation with you...write me your email.
The saddest and most heartfelt moment is during the songwriter film, watching him play it to his dad for the first time, fighting back the tears, sippng his coffee and staring into the cup, when the song ends, glancing up through teerful eyes looking for approval from his father who himself, off camera is probably fighting back tears himself. brought tears to my 50 years old eyes.....Ed, your grandmother will beso proud.
Garry Reed
Same goes for me - yesterday I saw the songwriter film for the first time and this is by far the most powerful moment - can't stop those tears - what a awesome human being with such an artful skill to pack emotions into songs. Keep it up and real, Ed.
Garry Reed yes, absolutely. I lost it at that very moment, because I could see that he was struggling to keep calm and not burst into a fit of tears, he's so strong I swear to God😭💘
Is this songwriter film available online? Would live to see it!
@@gf-pic5813 yes!its available on Apple music, you can see it on there :)
My mother’s mother died last night. This song helped me come to terms as she lay on her deathbed when we came home from the hospital.
I'm so sorry. may you have comfort in your memories and may she rest in eternal peace
I'm sorry to hear this. My heartfelt condolences to your family. God bless you.
Time can heal...RIP for your mom
She will be eternally your angel
sadddddddd
KimballTho I AM SO SORRY I WILL KEEP U IN MY PRAYERS😨💔🙏🙌
Thanks for this wonderful song. We played it at my grandma's funeral... I always think of her when I listen to it now.
Cindy Panda im so sorry for your loss, but that is so sweet 💗
kate Thank you ❤

This is a timeless song for me. Applies to all who have lost someone, whether to disease, mental health, or other.
You can hear the pain in his voice..😭
Love you Ed😍
Ed sheerN

He is a legend xx
So glad he performed this instead of his usual awards ceremony song Shape of You
True.. it's sooo heart touching 💓

The thing is he performed this song when my mom actually passed away a week ago... and she literally was an angel shaped of a mom... I love you so much mom, I feel lost without you
so proud of you being so strong ❤️ best wishes darling x
Stay strong
Cute Garrett Moments I'm trying my hardest to be, thank you so much 💕
Jack Donnelly I'm trying to be. Thank you so much 💕
I’m so sorry for your loss, my mom passed away this past summer. I understand your pain
Im sure you'll never read this but I love you, your voice and your songs. You deserve all you got and more. Thank you for everything. Lot of love from Spain❤
Sara 23 I read it,, hes the best What he do
Sara 23 don't worry we read it, we understand your situation
Yea lots of love from england your best singer ever
Abigale Willcock tnx
Who doesnt love Ed ? A stupid man maybe
I prey to God that whoever is reading this for you to know you are not alone
You are loved and you are beautiful
You are worth your every breath
And you are worth it all
Please remember that because your home ♥️
Thanks this was adorable. You're too good
Mycaina Paul Thank you for this.❤️
Okay, wholesome, but it's pray not prey. Prey is whole other word. Saying that you prey to God basically means you're hunting him down.
Is it weird that before I read this I just had a chat with my extremely corrupt grandmother who thinks she can do whatever she wants to me just cause she spent money on even though I didn't need it since I have my parents? Well hopefully I'll be able to enjoy that in the near future
🙏🙏🙏
My mother passed away last week. This is the first time hearing this song. I have replayed this at least 10 times! She raised 10 kids. She lost 3 of her kids in my lifetime. Her heart was broken. We miss her dearly. She is home, hallelujah!
I send you a warm hug
If you need a shoulder to cry on...
Sorry for your loss 🙏❤️🙏
so sorry for your loss, may she rest in peace, stay strong!
She is home now
Thank you Ed for being who you are. Please never change!!!
21stellaluna he already has lol
Alex how has he changed?.. I have not seen..
Alex Rodacan How has he changed, I would really like to know.
I remember listening to this song for the first time.. fuck, I cried my eyes out thinking about my mom. I'm so afraid of the idea of her not here by my side. I feel like she's the only person who truly cares about me in this world.
Ingrid Fig Same. I actually skip this song when I listen to the album bc it makes me feel so sad and I cry every time
omg same!
I felt the same.
Me too.😪
I first listened to it on a train. The other people probably thought what’s wrong with her :D I tried to hard holding the tears back. Must have made the funniest faces
Supermarket Flowers is about Ed's maternal grandmother and sung from his mothers perspective.John is Ed's father and Matthew is Ed's older brother
Veronica M So her grandma die?
Ed's grandmother died and this song was played at her funeral
Why u think this is from Ed's mother perspective? Did Ed mention that in interview?
Halsik Ed mentioned it in interviews that his maternal grandmother died and the song is sung from his mothers perspective, plus his fathers name is John, so he would sing father, not his dads first name.
Ed's Irish paternal grandmother from his song 'Nancy Mulligan' is still alive and is 93 yrs old
Halsik Yes, on the Breakfast Club interview
Lost my mom two weeks ago and just discovered this song today . I have playing it over and over . I don’t really show my emotions but “ every time I blink my eyes , tears are coming “ love you Ma and thank ED for this song …
Sorry for your loss ❤
So sorry for your loss 😢
sorry for your loss. hope you're ok
she's watching you and you always be loved!
@@basicwanderer thank you so much
I'm really happy that he sang this song instead of his really popular songs like perfect. He's really come a long way and I'm very proud of him. Keep it up ed, ur #1.
I'm not crying. You are crying
GooferDusty yes I am. Wait if you that I am that mean you are too
We all are.. This song is beautiful.
Ska?
Sure
Fox Onicate Noooo, I'm so not crying...shut up... I got something in my eye, okay....*snif*
Ed, you have come so far, and the fact that you got through this song without breaking down completely just proves what a strong man you are.
I love you so much and will always support you.
Big hugs, Sheerios, love you guys!
How can you not love this guy? Such a beautiful song. I’ve lost both of my parents - and my wife’s parents as well. This is such a gorgeous, touching song. I cry every time I listen to it… and I love it. Thank you, Ed!
Believe me or not!
This is honestly the Best Performance I’ve ever seen in whole my Life ❤️
My grandma died 😭
Agreed
Chuckies channel HD so sorry for your loss,may her soul Rest In Peace
saaaaaaammmmmeeeeee
Then You clearly haven't seen MICHAEL Jackson's, Queen's(Freddie Mercury), Bon jovi's, Guns N roses performances
All of his songs are amazing this artist is a pure genius :)
He’s awesome my fav artist
For the people who disliked this probably still have tears in their eyes and couldnt see properly the like button
Sushi underrated comment😂😭😍
Sushi 🇯🇵
Why do I see you everywhere hahaha
Or they hate that Ed made something that touched their hearts 😂
My daddy died the 20th of august by covid 19, the last time I saw him was last year and he was able to at list meet my boyfriend, didn't know it would be the last time I would've felt his warm hug and love. Nobody deserves to die without there family near...
"You where an angle in the shape of my father
when I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spreading your wings as you go
and when God taked you back we'll say Hallelijah
You're home"
- Ed Sheeran
🧡 Rest in peace
So sorry that you lost him so recently. I hope you will find comfort in loved ones and good memories
Rest in peace 🙏❤
Dear Mr Sheeran,your mum must have been amazing to have raised a sin like you.
I lost my DAD he was my superhero! I had to wipe a tear from his face whilst I held his hand as he passed. Love is the reward we get for having beautiful "MUMS AND DADS"
God bless you .
Oml I can’t even relate yet I cry every time! I bet she’d be proud!
The Campbell Channel the message behind this is so upsetting as wel😭
He wrote it because his grandmother passed away😭 I always sing this to remember my grandad😢
It's so sad 😭
I have the CD in my car and I can't listen to this song because it makes me cry and I can't see the road. Same with Photograph but I don't have that one in my car.
Olivia Hanson me too😢, I lost my grandads to early.
Same here 😢
This song makes me cry every time
Caroline Childers he is handsome i hav crush on him
Caroline Childers yeah😥....i love my mum😭
Ayush Gupta
Caroline Childers ..
Caroline Childers do cry Ik he is a Beautiful singer and with his voice
I lost my mother a year ago yesterday. Every time I think of this song, I can't help but tear up.
❤️ Spread your wings as you go, and when God takes you back, we'll say Hallelujah, you're home ❤️ I miss you, mom.
May U I’m sorry for your loss
May U, me too. Same exact day. I miss my mom terribly too. For you and me, it's not a coincidence that this beautiful and heartfelt song was posted on the day that it was. Hope you find comfort in it as I do. Blessings and love to you.
May U I lost my little sister two years ago im sorry for your loss
May U he works for the illuminati he is evil
I'm so sorry... I lost my grandma three months ago and she was like a mum for me.
Be strong
One of the most beautiful songs ever written
I have so much respect for this man, and I love it so much that he was able to sing this song
YOU ALL WANT A LEGENDARY AND ICONIC SINGER WELL IN MY OPINION ED IS THE BEST IN TODAYS MUSIC INDUSTRY
go ahead and say that im wrong but for me ypur comments dont mean anything because I just love him so much
Wow, best comment ever.
Olenka Biki I agree with you completely. Best singer since Elvis but a lot more talented because he sings, writes his own songs, and has himself for a band with a loop pedal. Elvis would be impressed with the kid if he was alive today.
Olenka Biki I agree
Olenka Biki so true he is such a beautiful soul and so much respect for him ❤️♥️ best of this generation
You have an amazing talent! I am 65 yrs old and love all your songs! Wish I could see you in concert! Wish you all the happiness!
He's always on tour, I've seen him twice now. He's incredible live
Oh so you listened Shape Of You?.. I wonder if you also chant
I wish you were my grandma
Song Army same 😱
Nina Courchesne aww hugs
It’s okay to be nervous, somebody should tell him that he is *Ed Sheeran!* and he doesn’t need to be because he is amazinnnggg 💓
Wildest Wonders seriously your comment is dope 🥀😢
maybe he seemed nervous because the song is so personal and it is about his late granny
I think it was emotion not nervousness, this is a personal story of his so I have to commend him on being able to deliver it so well without tearing up till the end of the song
Its not just that guys. He actually isnt comfortable singing in front of people without a guitar. He has said it before.
He’s not nervous it’s just that he’s trying to not tear up bc this is a very personal
The fact no guitar was used shows how vulnerable he was allowing himself to be. I just lost my grandmother and randomly found this performance, but damn does it resonate with me. It's a great feeling to cry and laugh at the same time. I, like Ed know our loved ones are in a better place. It doesn't change the hurt we have from them no longer being present, however, we take comfort in knowing we'll see them again and they are watching us above. Hallelujah indeed.
This came out right after my mom and I lost grandma and it is one of the songs that got us through. I'm sorry for your loss. They are both looking down from heaven at us every day!
One perfect gentleman... your grandma is so proud of you ed 💕💕💕
His grandma?? Isn't it about his mom
@@zainaabughoosh2424 His mum is alive. His grandma was the inspiration for the song.
Zaina Abughoosh The song was written about his grandma, from his mom’s point of view. So it’s like Ed’s mom perspective, but Ed is singing about it❤️
You can not watch the entire video without a tear in your eye. You just... CAN'T
Thats true
False.
I can. Though this song is touching
Wanna bet
I will lose anyways.
If u dont theres something
I couldn’t find what was off in this video but then i realized he is singing without his guitar wow
Mhm yeah
Hate how people scream aloud. Why can't they stand, shut up and enjoy this man's heart.
Teacher: What is a miracle?
Me: Ed Sheeran performing without his guitar and with a band.
The 4.4k people that disliked this video had tears in their eyes so they couldn't see the difference between the two. Great song, love you ed!
Electrik Wow,you made me cry even more.😭
God has blessed my soul and my ears by making an artist like you 😢
How can anybody dislike this song? What a beautiful tribute to his Grandmother
He gets me everytime😭 His voice is so pure💙
I think this is the first time I've seen him perform on stage without his guitar. He's said he doesn't know what to do with his hands when he doesn't have his guitar, but he did a great job. Fantastic performance!
Hema Malik That's exactly what I thought !!! And without his quitar...it's like a part of him is missing.
Hema Malik same
Knowing how uncomfortable Ed is without a guitar this is amazing
Thought the same😁
😂😂😂
It's just heartwrenching to see Ed hold back tears as he's performing, he's normally such a playful and lighthearted person and always joking around even with some of his music videos 😢
I saw him live on last monday, he mentioned he was going to sing this for the BRITS in memory of his grandmother
Peter Cruz I know he's so thoughtful and a lovely person!... Definitely beta the beiber😂😂😂
I am very happy that he did this song for an event like this. It shows to all the people that maybe only know shape of you that his music was never mainly about fast pop songs. I am very looking forward to the upcoming album (Subtract (?)). From what I have heard Ed saying about it, it will be amazing~
Nikki • Notes It’s actually already out and amazing! Try Spotify or his UA-cam channel 😊
Mckensie Chancellor nah divide is out. What are you on about
No, I really mean the upcoming album. The one after "divide". Probably called "subtract". Ed said that it will be a lo fi album, no pop. Which is amazing in m opinion. He writes for the album since he started to write for his first album "plus". Every year he writes one song for his 4th album (and maybe last album before his hiatus). He said that he wants to stop touring and making records full time when he is a father. And that could happen soon. I think very high of Ed. He just knows when to settle and also when to set an "end" to things, before the world (media) does. He will be a very good dad.
Daniel O Hartaigh I was referring to Divide bc I thought the original post (pre edit) was referring to Divide.
Nikki • Notes I didn’t think you realized his Divide album was out is all. I wasn’t trying to say you didn’t know anything about Ed. Glad to know you enjoy his music, too.
i think his grandma looked down on him when he performed and was super proud
I always bought Mum supermarket flowers, she always drank tea (gallons of it) and I took all her photo albums home when she died, I felt this song could have been written for me. How I miss her, dearest Mum.
I SWEAR HIS SONGS ON THE RADIO ARE BEAUTIFUL,..... AND THEN WHEN HE SINGS IT LIVE HE MAKES IT EVEN MORE BEAUTIFUL!!!! ED SHEEREN YOUR BEST!
Han Dinh SHEERAN***
Ed Sounds Amazing Even when He Sings Pure ❤
mike ray whats up hope you doing ace...that popped in my mind too anyway,,,gustavo help me grow my channel am a singer too,,,,,simply type kurikel on the search engine and go hot the subscribe button,,,,share my channel to your friends .....kindly mike-rayner i believe in you
You mean ESPECIALLY* not even
👍
I love you my nan did die to😡😡😡😠😠😠
Really liked that he decided to go with this song
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill
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 mum there’s a tear every time that I blink
Oh I’m in pieces it’s tearing me up but I know
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved
So I’ll sing Hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum
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
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
I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
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 mum
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
Hallelujah, you were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person that I have become
Spread your wings and I know
That when God took you back, he said Hallelujah you’re home
This both gave me depression and happiness. How?
Supermarket Flowers is about Ed's maternal grandmother and sung from his mothers perspective. Ed's song 'Afire Love' from his 2nd album Multiply X is about his grandfather William Sheeran and played at his funeral. The song 'Nancy Mulligan' on the Divide ÷ deluxe album is about Ed's Irish paternal grandparents William and Nancy.
Veronica M I don’t think this song is sung from his mom’s perspectives!
It’s not from his mom’s perspective. “You were an angel in the shape of my mom”
KayBee18 yes it is the 'angel in the shape of my mum' is referring to Ed's mothers mother, which is his grandmother who died. Ed has even said so himself
LN well it is, even Ed has said so.. song is about his maternal grandmother Shirley who died. John is Ed's father ie his mothers husband, and Matthew is his older brother
John said he’d drive, then put his hand on my cheek
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made
Ed has got a very specific voice. I think people don't give him enough credit for it.
Koo k
I just lost my mom two weeks ago and this song resonates with every cell of my being. I am so grateful for these beautiful words that are helping me and thousands of people who lost their loved ones to go through this pain with love in the hearts...Thank you Ed.
I’m so happy he sang it at an awards show!! It’s always been one of my favorites from ➗so it makes me so happy that other people that don’t really listen to the album get to hear it!
I lost my mom not even a month ago and found this song the last couple weeks of her life and have played it every week since. This song is truly beautiful and has helped me through these last couple of months. It always makes me cry but it’s a good cry because now my mom is “home”
May your Mom Rest in Peace.
Beth Johnson 🙏🙏🙏

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek
And wiped a tear from the side of my face
I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know
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 mum
When I fell down you'd be there holding me up
Spread your wings as you go
And when God takes you back we'll say Hallelujah
You're home
Hallelujah
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
You got to see the person that I have become
Spread your wing
And I know that when God took you back he said Hallelujah
You're home
Karla Adame thank you! ❤️
For me personally, this is his best performance I've ever seen... I can't count how many times I’ve replayed this song.
Ed sheeran you're a legend

He has no idea how much I love him.
This song will always hold a special place in my heart. Got a phone call from my dad that grandma passed away peacefully. She was such a loving person and she always had a smile on her face. Love ya grandma, gonna sing this song and think about that smile every time I do so!
God damn how lucky you are. My grandma's such a corrupt person so I can't say the same thing for her. But my other grandmother was a real good person. Passed away last year.
Supermarket Flowers is one of my favourite songs by Ed Sheeran. This reminds me of my dad who passed away many years ago. I often feel God took my father back and said "Finally, you're home".
And how he was holding back his tears made me tear up a little. His voice resonates with people who struggle with everyday things. Thank you, Ed!
This song is amazing. It was SOO overlooked on his album
Evan PT agree
It’s one of my fav songs in the album
One of my favorites!
it's actually my favorite. so much emotion.
It's my favourite
[LYRICS]
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, mum, there's a tear every time that I blink
Oh, I'm in pieces. It's tearing me up but I know
A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved
So, I'll sing Hallelujah,
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
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."
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
And I hope that I see the world as you did 'cause I know
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 mum
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."
Hallelujah,
You were an angel in the shape of my mum
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."
So far
The best live performance in the world love u so much!!!!!!!!
Thank you Ed Sheeran for your beautiful music. It is every time a pleasiure to hear your music.
My grandmother died 3 yeas ago. And your sog remains me on her. Thank you
