Handful of Weeds

This song was recorded by Sheri Easter.

 

Verse 1

Four years old with dirt on my face

I'd been out in the yard pickin' dandelions all day

I burst through the front door when I'd gathered enough

To give to my Mom to show her my love

When I hold out my hands, she looked down at me

And said "I've never seen flowers as beautiful as these."

 

Chorus:

She's the one who told me about Jesus

She's the one who taught me to sing

She deserves a armful of roses

But she's satisfied with a handful of weeds.

 

Verse 2

Now that I'm older and out on my own,

I wish I could find more time to make it back home

I could've done better I know in my heart

Than to scribble a note on a last minute card

But then she calls on the phone

And the first thing she says is

"I've read this card over and over again."

 

Chorus:

She's the one who told me about Jesus

She's the one who taught me to sing

She deserves a armful of roses

But she's satisfied with a handful of weeds.

 

Bridge:

She's always known what true love means

And I want her to know what she means to me

 

Chorus:

She's the one who told me about Jesus

She's the one who taught me to sing

She deserves a armful of roses

But she's satisfied with a handful of weeds.

 

Tag:

She's more than satisfied with a handful of weeds.
