Ed Sheeran - Supermarket Flowers 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, mom, 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"

    My mom passed away september 3 of 2019. she had cancer and was in the hospital for two weeks before she died. we kept being told that she was going home any day now, until My sister called me saying I had to go to the hospital. She got an infection, it wasn't even the cancer she had been fighting for 6 years that got her. I was listening to this song the day I got the call, In someway it helped me get through the events that followed. i'm only 14, but I have been through all the events named in the song.


    I will miss you forever mom, I love you to the moon and back...

    C.... L....

    u have been through the metaphorical "wars"

    C.... L....

  63. B.... P....

    It's really hard and painfull to know that someday we are going to part ways with our loved ones

  64. P.... M....

    This was pretty much how it went when we lost Mom this year. Closing up her/our house and handing the memories around to each other was incredibly hard. I'll never go back to the place I called home for 25 years, but honestly, my faith has taught me that it's about rejoicing for HER next life...not mine right now. I'll miss you this holiday season, Mom. We all will. Glad you are finally home, and we will be together soon enough.

  65. J.... A....

    I know is hard to loose somebody you love but they are not lost they just moved to a better places waiting

    It's been 2 years since my grandmother passed. I held her hand as she drew her last breath. Everyday hurts just as much as that first day. This song represents the feelings of loss so well.

  90. L.... T....

    My best friends mother died back in August a few days before her daughter’s birthday. It was very hard for all of my family and her family. My mother is trying to cope well because it was her best friend. She is currently listening to this song almost daily and sings along to it. This song was one of the three songs they played at her funeral. Thank you so much Ed, you have raised happiness all around you, keep going ❤️

  91. N.... S....

    HOW CAN PEOPLE DISLIKE THIS SONG?!?!

    N.... S....

    No clue they obviously don't have a memory about this song

  92. K.... Z....

    How many feel like crying 😢and emotional 😞😖.I too feel like crying whenever i listen to this song 😞

  93. Y.... k....

    This album is so hard for me to listen too. About a 2 years ago I bought this album and listened to it everyday. But during that time I was in a very bad relationship. I remember going to a dance with my ex and he did something that I would never forget, what he did ruined me. While I was riding back home with my mom ed's playlist was playing. I was crying in the car listening to this song. That night was one of the hardest nights of my life but Ed saved me. If it wasn't for his music I wouldn't of told my mom what had happened to me.

  94. D.... S....

    "Benny Bianco, Ed Sheeran" HAHA

  95. A.... T....

    It’s my grandmas birthday today but unfortunately no cake to bake since it’s been 4 years since she left. Happy birthday grandma wherever you are x

  96. �.... ....

    When i listen to this I keep thinking about my grandparents. They died when i was a kid. When I keep thinking of that tears rain from my eyes.....

  97. T.... ....

    I heard this song for the first time a few years ago and when I did I immediately broke into tears. It wasn’t my mom, but my dad instead. He died in a crash when I was 2. I’m so sorry for everyone else that has gone through something like this or is currently. Just remember, you will always be loved and you’ll get to see them someday

  98. K.... S....

    Happy birthday, ma. RIP 💙
