Honest Hands, Forever Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A friend once stopped us on the street, two kids who didn't know how one hello could plant a seed that fifty years would grow. We were young in classroom light, and, Babe, you held my hand, those hazel eyes said everything— a promise built to stand. [Chorus] I'll love you, C B, all my days, through every high and low, love you for every (yes every) step we've come to know. Devotion carved in honest hands, a strength that pulled us through— fifty-five years of holding on, my whole heart beats for you. [Verse 2] Forty years you gave your all, the coal dust and the grind, the hardest, most honest man that I could ever find. For Chet and Jenny, grandkids too, you carried every load, and every time we dance, my love, I'm home upon that road. [Chorus] I'll love you, C B, all my days, through every high and low, love you for every (yes every) step we've come to know. Devotion carved in honest hands, a strength that pulled us through— fifty-five years of holding on, my whole heart beats for you. [Bridge] The storm came hard, but we won't break, I'll hold you while you mend— you'll swing that club in morning sun, and heal, my love, my friend. [Verse 3] So here's to us, and all we are, the years we've yet to write, your gentle heart, your giving soul, still shining, still my light. Happy anniversary, Babe, you taught me love is true— fifty-five years, and evermore, there's no one else but you. [Outro] Love you for every (yes every) breath and step we've known, my C B, my forever home.
