V1.
Late night miles in a driving snow storm
My hands are welded to the wheel
And the weight that’s on my shoulders
Is as heavy as my eyelids feel
I’m coming home to see you
And I hope that I arrive
In time to tell you that I love you
In these last moments you’re alive
Chorus
I know that you’re in God’s hands
And you’re ok with moving on.
But I sure would like to hold your hand
One more time before you’re gone.
And thank you for the good times
And carrying me through all the bad
But I know your love is waiting there
When you can finally be with Dad
V2.
Before the sun came you were gone
I was fifteen minutes late
That’s something that still haunts me
And it hits me on that date.
But I’m glad that there’s no suffering
Because you went through so much pain
And even in the loss I feel
I know it’s Heaven’s gain.
Chorus
I know that you’re in God’s hands
And you’re ok with moving on.
But I would’ve liked to hold your hand
One more time before you’re gone.
And thank you for the good times
And carrying me through the bad.
But I know your love is waiting there
Where you can finally be with Dad.
Bridge
I came from New York City to Texas
With a short stop to sleep in Kansas
It felt like I slept for minutes
And woke to a wintry canvas.
And the miles I traveled I’d do again
But I’d make a faster start
Because being 15 minutes late
Left a hole here in my heart
Chorus
I know that you’re in God’s hands
And you’re ok with moving on.
But I would’ve like to hold your hand
One more time before you’re gone.
And thank you for the good times
And carrying me through the bad.
But I know your love is waiting there
Where you can finally be with Dad.
