It's In The Cards

Sittin' in the shed
On a lazy afternoon
He sees all his half-done projects
Starin' back at him
He opens up a drawer
Looks behind his box of tools
Pulls out a stack of greeting cards
And leans back on the stool

Chorus:
It's in the cards
Safe in his special place
The years they had together
Marked by treasured days
He's not used to life without her
Sometimes it's kinda hard
When he needs to hear her voice
It's in the cards

Christmas '84
Don't worry bout a tree
A few cards down, it's Father's Day
She loves her papa-to-be
The Valentines... pick any year
Hugs and kisses, love you so
These words he ached to hear
Things she wanted him to know

(Chorus)

Bridge:
Sometimes it's tough
To trust the dealer's hands
The cards are dealt
To work out in the end

The last one at the bottom
Before God took her home
Written with a shaky hand
Said "sorry to leave you alone"
Her love was always honest
Didn't hide a single thing
Her life was taken way too soon
Her whispers speak to him

        (Chorus)
