Lyrics
Verse:
I used to watch my Dad in his old workshop at night
Making furniture by hand, taking time to build it right
We'd listen to the Braves, tell jokes between the batters
We'd talk about life and things that really matterĀ
Verse:
I still recall that time sitting on the sawdust bin
And telling him about the love I felt for Jessie Lynn
I said, "Dad, she means the world to me, I think she's the one.
Can you tell me how to make love last like you and Mom have done?"....he said
Chorus:
Love is like this table made from the finest oak
Four legs hold it up--faith, passion, joy and hope
Every joint is solid, every seam is tight
And it will last a lifetime if you build it right
Verse:
It's seven years and countin' since Jess became my bride
Though we've had our ups and downs she's still at my side
Now sitting down with our kids at that table Daddy made
We give thanks for our blessings and remember what he said
Chorus:
Love is like this table made from the finest oak
Four legs hold it up--faith, passion, joy and hope
Every joint is solid, every seam is tight
And it will last a lifetime if you build it right
Bridge:
Sometimes love ain't easy and life can weigh us down
But we stay strong with our feet firmly on the ground
Chorus:
Love is like this table made from the finest oak
Four legs hold it up--faith, passion, joy and hope
Every joint is solid, every seam is tight
And it will last a lifetime if you build it right
