Lyrics
In the window of a small town jewelry store she saw a locket that she loved but could never afford so he vowed to himself im gonna buy her that locket someday.
They were so in love but fate would'nt wait the night he lost control on that cold interstate she left the phone hanging off the hook as she started to cry and just like a river the tears rolled from her eyes
Chorus
Life is fragile handle it with care we're all on a journey some where and theres alot of hard punches along the way . They'll be things we dont understand just keep your faith in jesus the best that you can pulled his coat from the closet and she reached deep inside the pocket pulled out a heart shaped locket
verse 2
she's got a heart shaped locket that she wears around her neck with a picture of a rose on the front and the back and a photo of him she keeps it locked inside and when she opens it up the tears roll from her eyes
chorus
life is fragile handle it with prayer cause we're all on a journey some where and theres alot of hard punches along the way. They'll be things we dont understand just keep your faith in jesus the best that you can she wears it round her neck with pride keeps the key in her pocket to that little heart shaped locket a little heart shaped locket that little heart shaped locket
wears it round her neck with pride keeps the key in her pocket to that little heart shaped locket ending fades
