The Cards

Here's one from last August

That came out of the blue

Says summer's been a scorcher babe

And I'm still hot on you

There must be 25 or more

You signed them every one

Now I'm sitting in this lonely room

Wondering what went wrong

Oh the cards are on the table

Hallmark at it's best

Valentines and anniversaries

Forever yours and all the rest

I'm sortin' through these memories

Still searchin' for a clue

But now the cards are on the table

And he's holding you

The sun comes through the curtains

But I'm still in the dark

These cards that used to touch me

Are tearing me apart

I'm torn between tossing them away

Or back up on the shelf

Guess my poor heart don't want to play

The hand that it's been dealt

Oh the cards are on the table

Hallmark at it's best

Valentines and anniversaries

Forever yours and all the rest

I'm sortin' through these memories

Still searchin' for a clue

But now the cards are on the table

And he's holding you

I'm sortin' through these memories

Still searching for a clue

But now the cards are on the table

And he's holding you
