That's the Deal
There was a gentleman I knewA stroke held his wife fast asleepAnd his whole life had come down toThe vigil he would daily keepI asked would he rather be free ?And this is how he answered meThat's the deal, that's the bargain that you makeThat's the vow that two hearts takeThat if better turns to worse you will abideThat's the deal, if it were not for God's graceI might be there in her place and she'd be right by my sideThat's the dealIn my mind I still hear him talkI keep those words like souvenirsBrought from a place where couples walkArm in arm through this veil of tearsI pray someday for my own sakeI find the heart I'll never breakThat's the deal, that's the bargain that you makeThat's the vow that two hearts takeThat if better turns to worse you will abideThat's the deal, if it were not for God's graceI might be there in her place and she'd be right by my sideThat's the dealThat's the dealThat's the deal.
