You took my hand; I felt it slip over my own
You took my hand in yours and my heart followed
In all my years no other had reached out in such a gesture
You took my hand; I felt the caress of strength
You took my hand and my soul became one with yours
Now years have passed our love has considerately mellowed
I take your hand knowing each callous and line
I love your hand as you have lovely sheltered mine
Once what was two, forever joined as one through eternal time
