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 quiet and peace
We know you're there somewhere inside
I say a prayer for you to smile
It looks like the angels owe me one today
But I stay strong and it won't be long 'til 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
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 when 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
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 and it won't be long 'til we see the old days
Open your eyes and say hello
Open your mind and just let go

Tell me just how much I've grown

♪
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
