Story Behind The Song
This happens to be the song I wrote for our wedding some 40 years ago! We are celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary on September 4th! We have four children & four grandchildren. I couldn't resist submitting to a call for 'Hand in Hand' - it's a sort of encore presentation and the first time I have recorded the song.

Lyrics
Hand In Hand
Now we must thank the Lord (or stars) above
For guiding us in our love
Though such a short time seems unfair
For you and I our lives to share
We'll walk together hand in hand
Doing the things we've always planned
And some day we'll have children, too
Some just like me, some just like you
There will be times when we'll feel we can't take it
But we'll find that no matter what we'll make it
This is our day, it's come at last
Though some may say it came too fast
Let's thank the ones who gave us life
Reason to be husband and wife
And let us thank our families, too
And all the friends who've seen us through
Let all the world in peace behold
That Love is worth much more than gold
