Needle and Thread

Verse

I never expected to get the phone call

I damn sure didn’t wanna make that drive

3 long hours behind the steering wheel

I didn’t know I’d have to say good bye

Getting the bad news in that small town

All those hours walking the halls

Drawing those hearts on the white board

Answering all the hard phone calls

Chorus

You can put down your needle and thread

There’s nothing left to fix, there’s nothing left to mend

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

Verse

There was so much love around you

While you laid in that hospital bed

Your three sons growing closer

As we waited for your last breath

Chorus

You can put down your needle and thread

There’s nothing left to fix, there’s nothing left to mend

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

Bridge

I don’t believe in angels

But I hope that I am wrong

Cause flying among the angels

Is where you belong

Solo

Verse

Now I’m sitting here without you

Crying while I put words to this song

But I can’t help but be thankful

Cause you’ve loved me all along

And I know you’ve never judged me

And you let me be my own man

And I know I made you happy

Raising my kids just the same

Chorus

You can put down your needle and thread

There’s nothing left to fix, there’s nothing left to mend

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can let go

You can put down you needle and thread

There’s nothing left to fix, there’s nothing left to mend
