He sat upon the bed
And he watched me packing
He already knew I was leaving
I took what I needed but
I sure left a lot still hanging
I figured I’d get it come the weekend
He said «Daddy, when you get there
Are you gonna have a refrigerator.»
I kind of 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
CHORUS:
Put your hand in mine
And I’ll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I’ll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me any-time
And put your hand in mine
But I drove past the Harton Baptist church
Though it wasn’t 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 a-gree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I got down on our knees and said
Chorus
