Lyrics
VERSE
They had two little kids when that day came to pass
It was a horrible one-car crash
Too many obstacles; way too much glass
Jim was gone, gone in a flash
PRE-CHORUS
She would grieve forever, she knew
But there was Joey and Jill to think about, too
First CHORUS
She never felt so alone
How could she get along?
Little insurance; stay-at-home mom
No hope; no peaceful calm
VERSE
Jim's best friend Lee was grieving, as well
He had a little shop; not much but on his own
And he wanted so much to answer the bell
So he gave her a job taking care of the phone
Second CHORUS
(Yes) She knew then there was hope
An act of kindness; helping her cope
Maybe one day they'll find the time
But for now then there was hope
BRIDGE
Simple kindness; he wanted nothing more
Letting her know then there was hope
Repeat Second CHORUS (2x)/TAG
A wonderful thing...
Then there was hope
