lyrics

1. Handle Them With Care

Not so very long ago but in a different day
Nothing was taken for granted or lightly thrown away
Holes in socks were mended the cobbler fixed old shoes
For knees and elbows, patches we saved what we could use

Chorus

If it's good, keep it with you for as long as you can
Nothin lasts forever in your hands
The little things you love, handle them with care
They're reminders to appreciate the ones who won't always be there

The way we valued what we had, so humble as it was,
Helped us learn how to cherish what meant the most to us
Friendships were considered nothing easy to replace
A neighborhood was more than where you had a parking space

If it's good, keep it with you for as long as you can
Nothin lasts forever in your hands
The little things you love, handle them with care
They're reminders to appreciate the ones who won't always be there

Is an old relationship written off as done and spent
Because when times get rough it's inconvenient?
If it's good, keep it with you for as long as you can

The world just turns and turns like the hands on a clock
Till something tragic stops its course and sends you into shock
Then maybe it's a comfort for the time you mourn
You did the best you could by the loved one who is gone

The little things you love if you handle them with care
They're reminders to appreciate the ones who won't always be there

Angel Dean and Sue Garner grew up in the south about a hundred miles apart as the crow flies. They met in 1981, in New York City. They’ve played in numerous groups, together and separately. In 2003, they recorded an album for Diesel Only called Pot Liquor. Little did they know that their second album would take a dog’s age to see the light, but at long last Gardeania has flowered.
