“The Man Across the Table”
Modern Country · FreeCustomSong Original
Sitting at the table when the plates are cleared away
Just talking through the hours at the ending of the day
It’s the simple time together that I always treasure most
Just sitting in the kitchen, keeping each other close
Daniel, when I look at you, I see the man you've grown to be
And I just want to tell you what you really mean to me
ChorusYou’ve got a hard-working spirit and a caring soul
Giving everything you have to the ones you hold
A loving husband standing strong, leaving nothing behind
Living out the words: love is patient, love is kind
You show me every day what a good man is supposed to be
Daniel, you are so loved by me
Verse 2I remember all the little things, the quiet afternoons
Now you’re building your own life, the years went by too soon
But you never lost your gentle touch, the way you always care
Whenever someone needs you, you're the first one standing there
You put your back into your work, you give it all you've got
But you always save your heart for the ones that mean a lot
ChorusYou’ve got a hard-working spirit and a caring soul
Giving everything you have to the ones you hold
A loving husband standing strong, leaving nothing behind
Living out the words: love is patient, love is kind
You show me every day what a good man is supposed to be
Daniel, you are so loved by me
BridgeIt’s the dinners that we share, the stories that we tell
Knowing that I raised a son who loves his family well
I don't need a grand occasion to say what's on my mind
I just want to look at you and tell you that you shine
Final ChorusYou’ve got a hard-working spirit and a caring soul
Giving everything you have to the ones you hold
A loving husband standing strong, leaving nothing behind
Living out the words: love is patient, love is kind
You show me every day what a good man is supposed to be
Daniel, you are so loved by me
