My Outfield Man

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty years ago, October sky so blue, By an old baseball field, my life walked into view. You were out in the outfield, beneath the autumn sun, When the wind caught your hat, and oh, my heart was won. [Chorus] Who would have known from that old baseball field, How much love one simple moment could reveal? A flying hat, a whispered prayer come true, And somehow my heart knew, I was meant for you. [Verse 2] Two little boys already holding to my hand, You took them as your own, became our steady man. You never drew a line between mine and yours, You opened up your heart and your family doors. [Chorus] Who would have known from that old baseball field, How much love one simple moment could reveal? A flying hat, a whispered prayer come true, And somehow my heart knew, I was meant for you. [Bridge] Then heaven sent a girl with a beautiful smile, Made every road we walked a little more worthwhile. Six grandbabies now, every girl and boy, Randy, you filled our world with joy. [Verse 3] We've chased so many sunsets, laughed through every year, Shared the dreams and memories we still hold dear. Through every road we've traveled, every season seen, You've still got that same smile that first captured me. [Chorus] Forty years later, Randy, I'd still choose you, For every tear, every dream that we've made come true. If I could go back, I'd watch that hat fly again, 'Cause heaven wrote forever in my outfield man. [Outro] Oh Randy, my forever, my outfield man, One little moment carried heaven's plan.
