[Verse 1]
Open your eyes
And tell me what you see
Am I among the forgotten?
Please say you remember me
[Verse 2]
In a room where light hides behind the curtains
In a bed where you’re lost in a dream
In a time the world is full of darkness
In a house that doesn’t suit quieter than bees
[Pre-Chorus 1]
We know you’re there, somewhere inside
I say a prayer, for you to smile
Looks like the angels, owe me one today
But I stay strong, I know it won’t be long
‘Till I see the old days
[Chorus]
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch our favourite show
And ruffle my hair and say it’s bad
And tell me there’s chocolate in your handbag
And tell me just how much I’ve grown
And let me know I’m not alone
[Verse 3]
It happens too fast
I find it all so strange
I never knew that this could happen
I blinked once, and everything had changed
[Verse 4]
I remember how you’d come around to see us
And you’d always have the same cup for your tea
Oh, that cup sits on the shelf now
Waiting for the day, you…, come back to me, oh-oh…
[Pre-Chorus 2]
We understand, good things don’t last
But I’d give anything, just to hear you laugh
Looks like the angels, owe me one today
But I stay strong, I know it won’t be long
‘Till we see the old days
[Chorus]
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch our favourite show
And ruffle my hair and say it’s bad
And tell me there’s chocolate in your handbag
And tell me just how much I’ve grown
And let me know I’m not alone
[Bridge]
And I will never understand,
How a precious memory, can fade away
But I’m not worried about that,
‘Cause I know you’re in good hands
And you are safe
*piano solo plays*
[Chorus]
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch our favourite show
And ruffle my hair and say it’s bad
And tell me there’s chocolate in your handbag
And tell me just how much I’ve grown
And let me know I’m not alone
[Outro]
And let me know I’m not alone
And let me know I’m not alone…
