He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing
|
He already knew why I was leavinĄŻ
|
I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging
|
But I figured IĄŻd get it come the weekend
|
He said Daddy when you get there
|
Are you gonna have a refridgerator
|
I kinda laughed and said I guess I will
|
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
|
On the back of a piece of paper
|
And a magnet and my heart stood still (when he said)
|
|
Put your hand in mine
|
And IĄŻll be there anytime
|
When it feels like you could use a friend
|
IĄŻll be there to lift you up again
|
You can reach out to me anytime
|
And put your hand in mine
|
|
I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church
|
Though it wasnĄŻt really on the way to my hotel
|
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
|
When I heard the chapel bell (and it took me)
|
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
|
Oh, back when we could still agree
|
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
|
You and I we got down on our knees (and said)
|
|
Put your hand in mine
|
And IĄŻll be there anytime
|
When it feels like you could use a friend
|
IĄŻll be there to lift you up again
|
You can reach out to me anytime
|
And put your hand in mine
|
|
I couldnĄŻt even stay away one night
|
I noticed you left on the light
|
And IĄŻve only got one thing to say
|
If youĄŻre not too tired and itĄŻs not too late
|
|
Put your hand in mine
|
And IĄŻll be here all the time
|
When it feels like you could use a friend
|
IĄŻll be here to lift you up again
|
Would you reach out to me one more time
|
And put your hand in mine
|
|
Would you reach out to me just one more time
|
And put your hand in mine
|
