Not alone

Open your eyes and tell me what you see
Am I among the forgotten?
Please say you remember me
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 these

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
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch your 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
It happens too fast
I find it all so strange
I never knew that this could happen
I blinked once, and everything had changed
I remember how you'd come around and 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

We understand good things don't last
But I'd give anything just to see 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
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch your 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
And I will never understand how a
Precious memory can fade away
But I'm not worried about that 'cos I
Know you're in good hands
And you are safe
piano plays
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go
Tell me to get the remote
So we can watch your 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 3x
