hard-working hands

on her wedding day
near the park in Montreal
my dark-haired woman
said "I do" and almost had it all

a little French
and a special glass of wine
all her friends looking on
thought that she looked just fine

once a little girl
sitting alone on her bedroom floor
hoping to find a dream
by opening every door

she dreamed someday she'd find a Prince
has been looking for him ever since

a mister right who's never been wrong
someone to help sing her favorite country song
to carry the weight of life
when it gets to be too much
the man with hard working hands
and a tender touch

on her wedding day
with our friends and a smile
my dark-haired woman
said "I do"and had me stay awhile

a quiet dance
and a special kiss for me
we'd always have that day
as a favorite memory

once a little girl
sitting alone on her bedroom floor
hoping to find a dream
by opening every door

she dreamed someday she'd find a Prince
had been looking for him ever since

a mister right who's never been wrong
someone to help sing her favorite country song
to carry the weight of life
when it gets to be too much
the man with hard-working hands
and a tender touch
