Little Julie’s on the backporch
Rocking her little man in her arms
It’s just them two and it’s always been
And neither of them knows just why or when
It happened that way
But they go on
She’s holding his little hand
And singing softly as the evening falls
He’s growing fast and the time is flying
She looks at him and starts to cry
A tear of joy
And she goes on and on
She knows
Life is fragile and a heart is easily broken
in a world of shattered dreams
When no one seems to care
But there’s a light of hope she carries
To get them through the dark of life unfair
Life is so fragile
You’ve got to handle it with prayer
Tommy’s in the hallway
Pacing up and down the marble floors
He and Lynne have been waiting so long
To hear their first born cry at dawn
And bring them joy
And he goes on
The doctor come to Tommy
But there is something somber in his eyes
He says something went wrong
And we tried to save him
We tried hard boy
But he didn’t make it
But Lynne’s alright
And he starts to cry
And he holds her tight
And they go on and on
They know
Life is fragile and a heart is easily broken
in a world of shattered dreams
When no one seems to care
But there’s a light of hope they carry
To get them through the dark of life unfair
Life is so fragile
You’ve got to handle it with prayer
They may never find the reason
But they always find their peace
When they’re reaching out to heaven
To the One who never leaves
