Hold My Hat, Hold My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a song that started everything, A slow dance and a borrowed hat, A quiet man with a steady hand, And a girl who never sat still like that. Seminole Wind was playing low, When two different worlds began to grow. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a long sweet ride, Thirty-three years walking side by side, You're the steady oak, I'm the open sky, And together we learned how to fly. Through every storm, through every song, This is right where I belong. [Verse 2] Six foot eight and five foot five, What a sight we made back then, You with your books and your quiet ways, Me talking your ear off again. We raised two kids both brave and true, Strong and free, just like me and you. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a long sweet ride, Thirty-three years walking side by side, You're the steady oak, I'm the open sky, And together we learned how to fly. Through every storm, through every song, This is right where I belong. [Bridge] John, you're the one we all lean on, The gentle heart, the quiet strong, But when the world gets heavy too, Baby, I'll be the rock for you. [Verse 3] You love the dogs, the words, the page, The slow turn of a chapter's grace, And every year I fall again, For the kindness written on your face. John, my love, here's my hand to hold, For every story still untold. [Chorus] Oh, what a love, what a long sweet ride, Thirty-three years walking side by side, You're the steady oak, I'm the open sky, And together we learned how to fly. Through every storm, through every song, John, this is right where I belong. [Outro] Just one more dance, hold my hand tight, Seminole Wind on a summer night.
