Second grade, by the swings Dust on my boots, summer breeze You said “push me higher” I said “hold on tight to me” Your laughter rang out Like a bell in the sky Didn’t know right then You’d be my whole life Seventh grade, holding hands Didn’t know where to start Just a shy little touch And a fast-beating heart We laughed ‘til we cried At nothing at all Didn’t know we were building A love that won’t fall We were just two hearts in a small-town plan Guided by faith and a higher hand Through every road, love understands We’re still right here… still holding hands Through the years, through the tears Through all life demands From first young dreams We’re still holding hands High school nights, old Chevrolet Movies and lakes, time slipped away Parked by the pond Talking ‘til dawn Didn’t need much We already belonged Then life came fast Pulled us apart Different roads But one same heart Till that night In a crowded room I saw your eyes… And I just knew Time did its best to let us go But God had a plan we didn’t know We were just two hearts in a small-town plan Guided by faith and a higher hand Through every road, love understands We’re still right here… still holding hands Through the miles, through the trials Through shifting sands Lost then found Still holding hands I remember that old swing set… Thought I was just passing time… You weren’t… Neither was I… We built a life… watched our children grow Prayed every night… more than they know Every step, every chance we had Was part of a love… heaven already planned We were just two hearts in a heaven-made plan Walking by faith with His steady hand Through all the years, love still stands We’re still right here… still holding hands Through the nights, through the light Through all life demands From then ‘til now We’re still holding hands Do you remember… Every single swing… And we’re still going higher… Still holding hands…
