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
