Marty

[Verse 1]
There's a boy at the door with shaking hands
Asking for a dance, hoping she'd understand
Nephew and nieces pressed against the window glass
One kiss by his car and he knew this love would last
Five brothers standing guard with watchful eyes
But something in his heart said she was worth the fight

[Chorus]
He don't say the words but his hands speak loud
A nickel turned to dollars, built a life from the ground
Big arms, big heart, holding everything together
That's my Marty, my rock, my forever

[Verse 2]
From prom night kids to forty-five years strong
Four babies, eleven grandbabies carrying us on
He restores what's broken, brings the beauty back
Old cars and pedal tractors lined on every shelf
He'll tell you every story, every piece and part
Pours his whole soul in like it's a work of art

[Chorus]
He don't say the words but his hands speak loud
A nickel turned to dollars, built a life from the ground
Big arms, big heart, holding everything together
That's my Marty, my rock, my forever

[Bridge]
When I lost my mom he carried all my tears
Through every storm and doctor's door these long and heavy years
He never asked for nothing, just showed up every time
Marty, you're the reason I still shine

[Verse 3]
He showers me in diamonds, shows the world to our kin
Kids and grandkids learning everywhere we've been
Says "get in the back seat, my dog sits up front"
And "write it down or you're gonna forget it, hon"
Our littlest grandson wrapped his arms up tight
Said "you're the best Grandpa ever" and his eyes filled with light

[Chorus]
He don't say the words but his hands speak loud
A nickel turned to dollars, built a life from the ground
Big arms, big heart, holding everything together
That's my Marty, my rock, my forever

[Outro]
Love you to the moon and back, always have, always will
Forty-five years later and my heart is dancing still
