What's Mine Is Yours Songtext
von Katherine Nelson

Counting down days since nine months last summer
From the baby quilts to the sunshine light-switch cover
All the plans she made
Wall-papered dreams she made for him someday

Doctor hardly glanced her way shut off the monitor
As he walked out the door said "You′re young, there'll be others"
No sirens or loud screams
No rushing or comforting
It was just over

On the longest road toward home
She parked in the church lot and cried
And said

What′s mine is yours
It's always been
What slips through my hands has your fingerprints on it
I'm letting go
Remembering
Though Heaven′s doors feel shut they′re wide open
What's mine is yours


Teenage girl clinging to the gates of mercy
Holding the weight of the world and her newborn baby
Trying her best to be brave
Wrapped in hope giving him away to a longing family

When her courage met their eyes she saw
Somehow her baby was born to be in their arms
And cried

What′s mine is yours
It's always been
What slips through my hands has your fingerprints on it
I′m letting go
Remembering
Though Heaven's doors feel shut they′re wide open
What's mine is yours

In this life we come and go and say goodbye
But there's more than we can see with our own eyes
And when my faith′s a thread-bare blanket and I can′t take it anymore
I remember

What's mine is yours


I′m letting go
Remembering
Though heaven's doors feel shut they′re wide open
What's mine is yours
What′s mine is yours
