In Her Handwriting

Verse 1

Felt piano and voice

I found the card behind the flour tinWith butter stains and a coffee ringTwo cups of sugar, then a noteSays, don't forget to taste it firstLike she knew I'd be here alone

Pre-Chorus

I've got the oven and the apronI just don't have her hands

Chorus

It's all in her handwritingShe's still telling me howA pinch of salt and patienceIt's all in her handwriting

Verse 2

My daughter asks why I'm cryingIt's only onions, I sayThen I let her hold the cardAnd show her where the flour goes

Pre-Chorus

I've got the oven and the apronI just don't have her hands

Chorus

Acoustic guitar and strings enter

It's all in her handwritingShe's still telling me howA pinch of salt and patienceIt's all in her handwriting

Bridge

Voice cracking, piano alone

Some people leave you moneyShe left me how to love

Final Chorus

Choir and strings swelling

It's all in her handwritingShe's still telling me howA pinch of salt and patienceIt's all in her handwritingIt's all in her handwritingShe's still teaching me howA pinch of salt and patienceIt's all in her handwriting
