Hand in Hand Since Four

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a photograph that I still keep, Two little hands, a love run deep. I was four and he was six, Summer sun and country kicks. Down by Little Hawk Lake we'd play, Racing strokes across the bay. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a beautiful ride, Best friend, my heart, forever by my side. Through every storm and the calm in between, You're the steady hand, the truest thing I've seen. Hand in hand from then to now, You showed me love, you showed me how. [Verse 2] We learned to swim in northern blue, Water skis and skies so true. Built a home from Ohio sand, Then Florida shores, another land. New careers and dreams to chase, Always your smile, your gentle face. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a beautiful ride, Best friend, my heart, forever by my side. Through every storm and the calm in between, You're the steady hand, the truest thing I've seen. Hand in hand from then to now, You showed me love, you showed me how. [Bridge] Through the fight that came four times, You held me close, you held the line. Courage, comfort, strength so true, George, my love, I'm here with you. [Verse 3] Now our seventies bloom like spring, Children, grandchildren, everything. Same little hands, just older now, Same sweet promise, same sweet vow. Father, husband, heart of gold, The greatest story ever told. [Chorus] Oh, what a life, what a beautiful ride, George, my heart, forever by my side. Through every storm and the calm in between, You're the steady hand, the truest thing I've seen. Hand in hand from then 'til now, You are my love, my sacred vow. [Outro] Happy Birthday, my dear, George, my forever, always near.
