He sat upon the bed
and he watched me packing
He already knew I was leaving
I took what I needed but
I sure left a lot still hanging
I figured I'd get it come the weekend
He said "Daddy, when you get there
are you gonna have a refrigerator."
I kind of laughed and said, "I guess I will."
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper
And a magnet and my heart stood still when he said
CHORUS:
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me any-time
And put your hand in mine
But I drove past the Harton Baptist church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat
I was looking at five small fingers
When I heard the chapel bell
and it took me back another life ago
When our hearts were open
Oh back when we could still a-gree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I got down on our knees and said
Chorus
I couldn't even stay away one night
I noticed that you left on the light
And I've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tire and it's not too late
Put your hand in mine
And I'll be there anytime
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine
