That Girl in Your Hands

That Girl in Your Hands - Aaron Edson/Dann Huff

I will always remember

When the girl I was gonna marry

Went and fell for my best friend

I guess I should've known better

But my eyes got all teary

When I wished him well and shook his hand

I'll always love that girl in your hands

Don't expect you to ever understand

But just give her all the love that you can

Try to be a good man to that girl in your hands

A few years later I learned so much better

About the kind of love a man can have inside

Just an hour after the wedding

My new wife's father

Said let me tell you something about your bride

I'll always love that girl in your hands

Don't expect you to ever understand

But just give her all the love that you can

Try to be a good man to that girl in your hands

And I've kept my promise ever since that night

Though I've made some mistakes

I'll always treat her right

'Cause I may not be her father but I think I understand

She's worth more than all the riches in this land

'Cause my wife just had a baby

A beautiful little girl

I never knew that I could love this way

As I took her to the window

To show her this new world

I could swear I heard her Heavenly Father say

I'll always love that girl in your hands

Don't expect you to ever understand

But just give her all the love that you can

Try to be a good man to that girl in your hands
