(Skip Ewing/Jimmy Wayne Barber) He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing He already knew why I was leavin¡¯ I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging But I figured I¡¯d get it come the weekend He said Daddy when you get there Are you gonna have a refrigerator I kinda 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) 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 anytime And put your hand in mine I drove past the Hardin 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 agree Back when the future that we had was full of hope and You and I we got down on our knees (and said) 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 anytime And put your hand in mine I couldn¡¯t even stay away one night I noticed you left on the light And I¡¯ve only got one thing to say If you¡¯re not too tired and it¡¯s not too late Put your hand in mine And I¡¯ll be here all the time When it feels like you could use a friend I¡¯ll be here to lift you up again Would you reach out to me 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
