Strong and Tender Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty years of morning light, of quiet mornings, steady nights. Two hearts that learned to bend and stay, brought back by love come what may. Through every road we've wandered far, you're still the compass, still my star. [Chorus] Oh, you're the strong and tender hand, the one who helped me rise and stand. Building a life and keeping it together in good times and bad, through every weather. Grateful for the years, the tears, the joy, my whole heart still belongs to you. [Verse 2] Eyes of sea blue, calm and true, those workman's hands that carried through. You stood beside me in my fear, and stayed when trouble drew so near. A coffee poured at break of day, the gentle love you gave away. [Chorus] Oh, you're the strong and tender hand, the one who helped me rise and stand. Building a life and keeping it together in good times and bad, through every weather. Grateful for the years, the tears, the joy, my whole heart still belongs to you. [Bridge] Miss Robin, you whisper low, my Corner, steady, ever slow. On the coast the seawind blew, I still recall your touch, still you. [Verse 3] Jeffrey, you're my strength, my home, in every storm I'm not alone. For our sons and Layla's smile, you've walked with love through every mile. And hope still shines the way ahead, by all the loving words we've said. [Chorus] Oh, Jeffrey, you're my tender hand, the one who helped me rise and stand. Grateful for the years, the tears, the joy, my whole heart still belongs to you. [Outro] Forty years and still I do, my Jeffrey, always me and you.
