From Empty Hands to Everything

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love comes quiet like Sunday light Slips in a room and makes it all feel right Mine walked in at my sister's place Laughing in the kitchen, sunshine on her face I didn't have much but a hopeful heart Still I knew right then I'd found my start [Chorus] Forty years and I'd choose you again My love, my heart, my truest friend You forgave me when I lost my way Raised our family strong from day to day If I lived it twice, I know what I'd do I'd still come running, Triece, back to you [Verse 2] We started out with empty hands A rented room and secondhand plans Worked the late shifts, counted every dime Built us a family one day at a time Every table full on a holiday Girl, that's the legacy you made [Chorus] Forty years and I'd choose you again My love, my heart, my truest friend You forgave me when I lost my way Raised our family strong from day to day If I lived it twice, I know what I'd do I'd still come running, Triece, back to you [Bridge] Four months apart, I was lost and alone You opened the door and let me come home Grace like yours, I can't explain You took my broken and you healed the pain [Verse 3] When Mama's final days were drawing near You held her hand and dried her tears You stayed beside her when I couldn't stand Gave her peace with your gentle hand Through all these years I see it still You're the one I choose, I always will [Chorus] Forty years and I'd choose you again My love, my heart, my truest friend You forgave me when I lost my way Raised our family strong from day to day If I lived it twice, I know what I'd do I'd still come running, Triece, back to you [Outro] Forty years, I still choose you My whole life through, me and you
