Look Around (And You’ll Find Me There)
I know that somewhere there’s someone who needs you.
Someone meant for you only,
Look around and you’ll find me there.
As long as always there’s someone who’ll want you,
You won’t ever be lonely.
Look around and you’ll find me there.
Let me know you, let me show you,
Just how much I care.
Here inside me there’s enough love,
For us both to share.
Someday you’ll look for that someone who loves you.
Until then I’ll be waiting,
Look around and you’ll find me there.
Let me know you, let me show you,
Just how much I care.
Here inside me there’s enough love,
For us both to share.
Someday you’ll look for that someone who needs you,
Until then I’ll be waiting.
Look around and you’ll find me there.
Look around and you’ll find me there.
Look around and you’ll find me there.
END

Lyrics: Ed Sheeran.
Supermarket Flowers.
I took the supermarket flowers from the windowsill.
I threw the day old tea from the cup.
Packed up the photo album Matthew had made,
Memories of a life that’s been loved.
Took the get well soon cards and stuffed animals.
Poured the old ginger beer down the sink.
Dad always told me, “Don’t you cry when you’re down”.
But mum, there’s a tear every time that I blink,
Oh I’m in pieces, it’s tearing me up, but I know,
A heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved,
So I’ll sing Hallelujah.
Chorus
You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
When I fell down you’d be there holding me up.
Spread your wings as you go,
And when God takes you back we’ll say Hallelujah,
You’re home.
Fluffed the pillows, made the beds, stacked the chairs up.
Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case.
John says he’d drive, then put his hand on my cheek,
And wiped a tear from the side of my face.
I hope that I see the world as you did ’cause I know,
A life with love is a life that’s been lived,
So I’ll sing Hallelujah.
Repeat Chorus
You were an angel in the shape of my mum.
You got to see the person I have become.
Spread your wings and I know,
That when God took you back he said Hallelujah,
You’re home.
END.
It Must Have Been Love.
Songwriter: Per Hakan Gessle.
Vocals: Roxette singer, sadly the late Gun-Marie Fredriksson (1958–2019)
“Must have been love,
But it’s over now.“
Lay a whisper on my pillow.
Leave the winter on the ground.
I wake up lonely, this air of silence,
In the bedroom and all around.
Touch me now, I close my eyes,
And dream away.
It must have been love, but it’s over now.
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love, but it’s over now,
From the moment we touched, ’til the time had run out
Make-believing we’re together,
That I’m sheltered by your heart,
But in and outside I turn to water,
Like a teardrop in your palm.
And it’s a hard winter’s day,
I dream away.
It must have been love, but it’s over now.
It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without.
It must have been love, but it’s over now.
It’s where the water flows.
It’s where the wind blows.
It must have been love, but it’s over now.
It must have been good, but I lost it somehow.
It must have been love, but it’s over now,
From the moment we touched, ’til the time had run out.
Yeah, it must have been love, but it’s over now.
It was all that I wanted, now I’m living without.
It must have been love, but it’s over now.
It’s where the water flows.
It’s where the wind blows,
but it’s over now,
No, no, no
(It must have been love)
(But it’s over now) but it’s over now
No, no, no
End.
