from the windowsill

把昨天留在杯子裡的茶 倒得一乾二淨 I threw the day old tea from the cup

Threw the day old tea

將Matthew親手製作的相簿 打包起來 Packed up the photo album Matthew had made

from the cup

曾被愛過的那段回憶 就此塵封 Memories of a life that's been loved

Packed up the photo album

收起寫著「早日康復」的卡片 還有絨毛娃娃 Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals

Matthew had made

桌子上擺的薑汁啤酒 倒進水槽 Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

Memories of a life that's been loved

父親總說:「只是哭泣 無法脫離沮喪」 Dad always told me, "don't you cry when you're down"

Took the get well soon cards

可是 媽 每當我眨眼 淚水總是奪眶而出 But mum, there's a tear every time that I blink

and stuffed animals

Oh 我的心靈 正飽受摧殘撕裂之苦 Oh I'm in pieces, it's tearing me up, but I know

Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

但我明白 就是因為愛過 才會倍感傷痛 A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

Dad always told me don't you cry

所以 我輕唱著哈雷路亞 So I'll sing Hallelujah

when you're down

妳是天使 也是我今世的慈祥母親 You were an angel in the shape of my mum

But mum there's a tear every time that I blink

當我跌倒時 總有妳在身邊扶持 相挺著 When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

Oh I'm in pieces it's tearing me up but I know

離去時 妳展翅揮翼 飛向天際 Spread your wings as you go

A heart that's broke is a heart that's been loved

每當上帝 帶妳返回天堂時 When God takes you back

So I'll sing Hallelujah,

祂會告訴妳:「哈雷路亞 孩子 歡迎回家」 He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home."

you were an angel

我把枕頭拍得蓬鬆 打理好床鋪 I fluffed the pillows, made the beds,

in the shape of my mum

椅子也疊得整齊 stacked the chairs up

When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

摺好妳以前的睡袍 放進箱子裡 Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

Spread your wings as you go

John離開的前一刻 他把掌心貼在我頰上 John says he'd drive then put his hand on my cheek

And when God takes you back

輕輕一抹 將淚水從我臉龐拭去 And wiped a tear from the side of my face

He'll say Hallelujah, you're home

但願我能 擁有如你開闊的視野 因為我知道 I hope that I see the world as you did, 'cause I know

I fluffed the pillows, made the beds,

活得有意義的人生 必定有愛相伴 A life with love is a life that's been lived

stacked the chairs up

所以 我輕唱著哈雷路亞 So I'll sing Hallelujah

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case

妳是天使 也是我今世的慈祥母親 You were an angel in the shape of my mum

John said he'd drive,

當我跌倒時 總有妳在身邊扶持 相挺著 When I fell down you'd be there holding me up

then put his hand on my cheek

離去時 妳展翅揮翼 飛向天際 Spread your wings as you go

And wiped a tear from the side of my face

每當上帝 帶妳返回天堂時 When God takes you back

I hope that I see the world as you did cause I know

祂會告訴妳:「哈雷路亞 孩子 歡迎回家」 He'll say, "Hallelujah, you're home."

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
