Daughtry - Open Up Your Eyes Lyrics

A single rose left to remember
As a single tear falls from her eye
Another cold day in December
A year from the day she said goodbye

Seems it's only been a moment
Since the angels took him from her arms
And she was left there holding on to their tomorrow
But as they laid him in the ground
Her heart would sing without a sound

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes, eyes

A single lifetime lays behind her
As she draws her final breath
Just beyond the door he'll find her
Taking her hand he softly says

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life

Just open up your eyes as I lay you down tonight
Safe on the other side, no more tears to cry

For the first time you can open your eyes
And see the world without your sorrow
Where no one knows the pain you left behind

And all the peace you could never find
Is waiting there to hold and keep you
Welcome to the first day of your life
Just open up your eyes, eyes, eyes, eyes

  This song is great. Reminds me so much of my boyfriend that died. This song came out right after I lost him and it was like it was written just for him. I still listen to it EVERY day. Thanks Chris for a really great song!

  Great sophmore album. Absolutely love Learn My Lesson and Tennessee Line! I was watching Chris' audition for American Idol on utube the other day, what a putz Simon is. It's great that Chris has gone on to be so successful. Very talented individual.

  This is an amazing song.
  I really feel like he's talking about me and my life. My husband died almost a year ago....
  I wonder where he got the idea for this song.
