My Hand Around Your Finger

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fifty years of dust and gold, Same old truck, same hand to hold. So many miles of prairie road, Babies at my knees would know, "When's our Daddy coming home?" You always came, you led us on. [Chorus] You're my true north, my guiding light, The steady star I find each night. Through every storm, through grace and pain, I'd walk this road with you again. My heart beats with each breath you take, For every love, for heaven's sake. [Verse 2] Four sweet girls and three strong boys, Seven cradles, seven joys. Six here laughing, loud and free, One sings down from heaven's tree. Your hands were strong enough to hold Us all through wind and dark and cold. [Chorus] You're my true north, my guiding light, The steady star I find each night. Through every storm, through grace and pain, I'd walk this road with you again. My heart beats with each breath you take, For every love, for heaven's sake. [Bridge] You call me sweet pea, soft and low, My hand wrapped 'round your finger so. Three times the fight came to our door, You stood up and gave us more. Gus, my forever, my one true, Every road still leads to you. [Verse 3] When the curtain finally falls, And the quiet answers all, My last breath will softly say, I have loved you all the way. Gus, you're the grace that carried me, The song, the home, the family. [Chorus] You're my true north, my guiding light, The steady star I find each night. Through every storm, through grace and pain, I'd walk this road with you again. My heart beats with each breath you take, For every love, for heaven's sake. [Outro] Sweet pea whispers, soft and true, Fifty years, and I still choose you.
