Here is one that me and Kim wrote some time ago and I just had redone. It is based on an article I read and I always thought this was such a heartwarming story. Thanks to Gale (thegatorhole) and Melissa (vocal) for bringing this to life for me! Let me know what you think? :)))) Scotty

Your Card ©2012 Richard Scott/Kim Ragans

I was young, caught in the moment
Not caring where that night went
Just knew I’d spend forever in his arms
But forever became the day
I told him I was late
He left and I felt my world fall apart

(Prechorus)
Now I realize to you it’s just another birthday
But to me today’s the day they took you away

(Chorus)
Now I sign this same card every year
Even though it’s not going… anywhere
I hold it and hope you read it someday
(I hold it and hope maybe some day)
Dry my tears, then put it away

I’ve missed all the candles and wishes
First steps and pretty prom dresses
Wish I could have shared them all with you
But that’s the price I’ve had to pay
For the choice I had to make
Hope you understand what I had to do

Prechorus)
Now the only thing I have is the memory
Of that moment I held you close to me

So I sign this same card every year
Even though it’s not going anywhere
I hold it and hope you read it someday
(I hold it and hope maybe some day)
Dry my tears, then put it away

(Bridge)
After years of hoping and waiting
I got a call… Lord knows I’ve been praying…

(Final Chorus)
Now I sign this same card one last year
Cause that day I’ve prayed for’s finally here
And I know it’s not much but it’s a start
Love Momma… baby here’s your card
Yeah Happy Birthday, baby here’s your card
