TOO MANY PIECES [ country, country-folk, Americana ] Click Here for Free Song Download                 Nursery rhymes, sand castles on the beach                 It seemed good times would flow on forever                 But life threw a curveball from out of nowhere                 Hitting right where our hearts were joined together                 Hand in hand, stolling along the boardwalk                 We stopped so our little boy could play a carnival game                 As we embraced, he vanished without a trace                 And now our lives will never, ever be the same                       And all the wild horses and well meaning friends                       Can't put all the pieces back together once again                       Maybe sometimes, some things can be hard, even for Jesus                       Like mending hearts that are broken in too many pieces                 When I saw you today at the grocery-mart                 You seemed so lonely, so many years older                 An empty shell of the strong man I once knew                 Before the world fell around our shoulders                 But who can blame you when a milk carton picture                 Of our only child is such a haunting memory?                 Oh, how I miss him and the times we shared together                 And I so miss your heart beating next to me                       And all the wild horses and well meaning friends                       Can't put all the pieces back together once again                       Maybe sometimes, some things can be hard, even for Jesus                       Like mending hearts that are broken in too many pieces                 I know God loves me and sympathizes                 And on one awful day, how he must have felt                 Because to lose your only son                 Hurts more than all the pain in all the books on history's shelf                       And all the wild horses and well meaning friends                       Can't put all the pieces back together once again                       And though we've tried to move on with our lives                       It seems like nothing ever releases                       Hearts that have long been broken in too many pieces * * For John Walsh, who somehow picked up the pieces and made the world a whole lot safer for all of God's children.  And for music artist Jannel Rap, who's sister and fellow artist Gina Bos vanished without a trace; Jannel Rap now travels the world using her music to help bring awareness to the cause of missing children and adults.             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP        No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from publisher.
