You Learned to Walk Again

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A Sydney church, a Sunday light, Two strangers found a spark that night. So far from home, a soldier's stay, But something told me he would stay. Then letters crossed the ocean wide, With every page you drew me close beside. [Chorus] Oh Keith, my love, my steady hand, The bravest heart in all this land. Through fire and storm you held on tight, And loved me deeper every night. Fifty-four years, and here we stand, Still walking side by side, hand in hand. [Verse 2] You slipped back in, a sweet surprise, I saw the sunrise in your eyes. But far away the storm would come, And silence fell, my heart went numb. They said you'd never rise again— But you stood tall, my strongest of men. [Chorus] Oh Keith, my love, my steady hand, The bravest heart in all this land. Through fire and storm you held on tight, And loved me deeper every night. Fifty-four years, and here we stand, Still walking side by side, hand in hand. [Bridge] You learned to walk when hope seemed gone, One careful step, you carried on. So caring, thoughtful, gentle, true— There's no one, love, who loves like you. [Verse 3] Now years have passed, the world has turned, And still it's you my heart has yearned. A quiet life across the sea, America, just you and me. Whatever came, we made it through, 'Cause every road led back to you. [Chorus] Oh Keith, my love, my steady hand, The bravest heart in all this land. Through fire and storm you held on tight, And loved me deeper every night. Fifty-four years, and here we stand, Still walking side by side, hand in hand. [Outro] Just because I love you so, My Keith, wherever you may go.
