“LIFE HANDS YOU” © 2007 

words and music by:

Verse 1

Cleaning my garage on a Sunday afternoon

Sorting through things because my son just moved

I found an old skateboard in his Eagles cap

His number one team but they never brought it back

A dusty fishing pole an old shotgun shell

Notes inside of his first…his first kill

 

Chorus 1

God help me this will take forever

Packing up memories in a cardboard box

Life flies by too damn quickly

And all at once it hands you…teardrops…

 

Verse 2

Cleaning my garage on a Sunday afternoon

Drinking a couple of beers while I’m thinking it through

Yeah all the times we laughed and the times we fought

Hey there’s his old bike the one I taught him on

Just like the crash of the waves when we were surfing at the shore

In a blink of an eye my boy…ain’t a boy anymore…

 

Chorus 2

God help me this will take forever

Packing up memories in a cardboard box

Life flies by too damn quickly

And all at once it hands you …teardrops…

 

Bridge: (musical)

 

Chorus 3

God help me this will take forever

Packing up memories in a cardboard box

Life flies by so damn quickly

And all at once it hands you…

And all at once it hands you…

And all at once it hands you…teardrops…

 

Outro

Cleaning my garage on a Sunday afternoon

Sorting through things because my son…my son just moved
