Your Other Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A dark and quiet parking lot, a little cousin holding tight. Paris reached for a steady hand, and something sparked inside that night. I found my nerve, I found my chance, one simple word began the dance. [Chorus] "Can I hold your other hand?" You looked at me and softly said, "Okay." And every year since then I stand so grateful that you didn't walk away. Donna, you're my whole life's plan, it all began with your other hand. [Verse 2] Through every storm you stood so tall, my cheerleader when I was low. You gave me two fine growing boys, watched Dustin and Chase learn and grow. A devoted heart, a love so true, this family blooms because of you. [Chorus] "Can I hold your other hand?" You looked at me and softly said, "Okay." And every year since then I stand so grateful that you didn't walk away. Donna, you're my whole life's plan, it all began with your other hand. [Bridge] Seventy years and still you shine, four little ones now call you gran. My partner, best friend, ever mine, the strongest woman in the land. [Verse 3] So here's to all the roads we've crossed, the quiet nights, the years, the miles. No love of ours was ever lost, just gratitude in all your smiles. Donna, come and dance with me, right where our whole life came to be. [Chorus] "Can I hold your other hand?" You looked at me and softly said, "Okay." And every year since then I stand so grateful that you didn't walk away. Donna, you're my whole life's plan, it all began with your other hand. [Outro] So take my hand and hold it near, my love, my life, year after year.
