Lyrics

IN YOUR HANDS
(Song for my Teacher)

Teacher, I wrote this song for you
To thank you for every smile
I know you had a lot to do
I’m glad that you paused awhile

You took time to listen, and to hear
To laugh, and just be there
I heard that lesson loud and clear:
I mattered to you – you cared

CHORUS:
‘cause
WHEN YOU REACH OUT, AND YOU TOUCH ME WITH YOUR HEART
THEN YOU HOLD WHAT I’M BECOMING IN YOUR HANDS
AND THOUGH YOU’RE WITH ME JUST AWHILE
TODAY YOU HOLD TOMORROW’S SMILE
IN YOUR HANDS ... IN YOUR HANDS ... IN YOUR HANDS

Teacher, I wrote this song for you:
Melody, words and rhyme
Lessons you taught me yesterday
Have disappeared into time

But, teacher, I never will forget
A look you gave to me
I saw reflected in your eyes
The somebody I could be

CHORUS (twice)
