Poured the old ginger beer down the sink

Oh I’m in pieces it’s tearing me up but I know

А heart that’s broke is a heart that’s been loved

C Em F G
So I’ll sing Hallelujah, you were an angel

Holding me up spread your wings as you Go and when

God takes you back We’ll say Hallelujah, you’re home
Verse:

Folded your nightgowns neatly in a case
