Her Hand |
Lyrics[Verse 1]This is the hand that holds her husband's, For better or for worse. It's the hand that squeezed his in the darkness, And never let it go. This is the hand that rested on her belly, Waiting for that little kick, When they built their family, One child at a time. [Chorus] This is the hand that held them all together, Through the years and through the changing times. The hand that wiped away their tears, And reached for theirs when they were scared. It was gentle, it was tender, It was strong when it had to be, It could hold them when they needed it, And let them go when they were free. [Verse 2] This is the hand that cooled and stroked Fevered foreheads through the night. Umpired conflicts, taught the rules, Somehow made everything turn out right. This hand always waved goodbye at doorways, Waved again as they returned. It comforted those who came back broken, And gave them somewhere safe to breathe. [Chorus] This is the hand that held them all together, Through the years and through the changing times. The hand that wiped away their tears, And reached for theirs when they were scared. It was gentle, it was tender, It was strong when it had to be, It could hold them when they needed it, And let them go when they were free. [Bridge] Look closely at the lines upon it, Every one of them was earned. There's a lifetime in those wrinkles, And a thousand lessons learned. And the ring upon that finger Isn't just a piece of gold-- It's the promise of a lifetime That she and he still hold. [Final Chorus] This is the hand that holds her husband's, Just like it did so many years ago. This is the hand that felt their babies, And watched those babies grow. This is the hand that held them all together, Though nobody ever stopped to say it should-- It simply did what love does best... It held on when it could. [Tag -- ] This is the hand I held as I grew up, The hand that taught me how to face the world. This is the hand of my dear mother, Who knew the strength of a single touch. |
