Patient Hands

He was young, full of life, had his dreams, kids and a wife

Maybe settle down in a sleepy little town on the edge of a bluff

Patient dreams, sure enough

Saturday morning, take a trip to town, saw her standing there, she gave him a frown

He said, hey there pretty girl, can I cheer you up

Then they're walking hand in hand, sure enough

Ain't it kind of funny how time goes fast, when you think a good thing's gonna last

Stretching far and wide across God's land, and he holds her in his arms

Patient hands

Little bit old, little bit wise, raised her kids, lived their lives
