[Verse 1] You laid your head on the pillow For the last ever time that night You smiled through the pain Said son, it's alright I'm sorry son But I can't win this fight [Verse 2] I'd sat by your side I held your hand I could feel you slipping away Like hourglass sand The ambulance pulled into the street Siren still, no flashing lights on repeat It wasn't an emergency Just the end of your story [Pre-Chorus] Go to sleep now Mum Your job is done You raised a boy into a man You gave me a life of love and fun [Chorus] I miss you everyday (I miss you everyday) But I knew you couldn't stay (I knew you couldn't stay) I'll see you again one day When I'm old and grey My mum, my heart My mum, my heart [Verse 3] The house still holds your name In the chairs and the cups Every little thing you touched Still wakes me up And when the dark gets loud I hear your gentle voice Saying hold your ground Son, you still make me proud [Pre-Chorus] Go to sleep now Mum Your job is done You raised a boy into a man You gave me a life of love and fun [Chorus] I miss you everyday (I miss you everyday) But I knew you couldn't stay (I knew you couldn't stay) I'll see you again one day When I'm old and grey My mum, my heart My mum, my heart [Bridge] And if I look up tonight At the first clear star I'll talk to you like home Wherever you are No goodbye can hold What you left inside You made me who I am And that will never die [Final Chorus] I miss you everyday (I miss you everyday) But I knew you couldn't stay (I knew you couldn't stay) I'll see you again one day When I'm old and grey Go to sleep now Mum Your job is done My mum, my heart My mum, my heart
