about

For my best friend and wife of thirty years.

lyrics

You know, sometimes I linger on long yesterdays -

Forgotten faces lost to time

Brothers to lean on, Sisters to show the way

Through all the hills I had to climb

And to so many faces, at places in my road,

I've reached out to find a hand

Somebody to help me let go my heavy load

Someone to say they understand.

And it was you in the valleys

And it was you upon high ground

Every hand that I reached for

It was your hand that I found -

And it was you in the shadows

And it was you in the light

And now it's you I call my love,

My wife, tonight.

You know, sometimes I wonder how you stayed so long

Or how you understood my pain

And if I took you for granted

Well, you know that I was wrong

And you won't hurt that way again.

Cause it was you in the valleys

And it was you upon high ground

Every hand that I reached for

It was your hand that I found -

And it was you in the shadows

And it was you in the light

And now it's you I call my love,

My wife, tonight.

Yes, it's you I call my love,

My wife tonight.
