He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing

He already knew I was leavin?

I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging

Then he handed me a tracing of his hand

On the back of a piece of paper
      Ab                        Fm7/Bb          Bb
And a magnet and my heart stood still - when he said

I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church

Though it wasn?t really on the way to my ho tel
                 Bb/Eb                 Ab         Eb
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
Ab                      Bb
When I heard the chapel bell - and it took me
Ab/C         Bb/D              Eb
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
