Fragile - Handle With Care Lyrics - Singles - David Easthouse

1. The delicate statuette , fine and serene 

Placed in a box protected by bubble-wrap 

And shouldered and moulded with polystyrene 

Chorus 

As it can smash and can break and can crack and can tear 

And so needs the sign Fragile Handle with Care 

2. The newly-born baby drawn straight from the womb 

Breaks into a shiny bright people filled room 

And needs to be comforted , nurtured and soothed 

Chorus 

3. The 1st Graders fearful first day at school 

Their mothers so tearful that its come so soon 

As they face all lifes pressures that before them loom 

Chorus: As they can.. 

4. The coming of agers 21st party 

Has relished so long for the chance to be free 

And yet still so sweet , innocent and nave 

Chorus: As she can. 

Bridge 

And flowers and plants and all lifes species 

Delicately crafted their fragile beauty 

And insects and animals , bird-life and trees 

As they can crush and can wither and hurt and can bleed 

And travail and suffer like you and like me 

5. And walking through life with its traps and its snares 

Traversing its hurdles and oft challenges 

And then we get older and frailer and then when we die 

No need to put there 

The sign on our casket: 

Fragile Handle with Care
