Old Workbench Marks

Lyrics

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

[Verse 1]
In the old wood shed, where the dust hangs low
Stands a seasoned workbench, telling tales of long ago
With a thousand scars from tools and time's slow pace
And faint, pencil lines on its weathered face
Each mark a whisper, a memory held so dear
Of little boots on tip-toes, year after passing year

[Chorus]
Oh, the workbench marks, carved in pine and time
They chart the journey, a father's love sublime
From tiny steps to grown-up dreams they trace
The growing years, etched in this sacred place
Every line a measurement, of laughter and of grace
A country song of a father's pride, on that old workbench face

[Verse 2]
I remember well, the day my boy stood tall
His head barely reaching, against that wooden wall
With a steady hand, and a pencil sharp and true
I'd mark his height, a moment fresh and new
Then my little girl, with ribbons in her hair
Another line added, another love to share

[Chorus]
Oh, the workbench marks, carved in pine and time
They chart the journey, a father's love sublime
From tiny steps to grown-up dreams they trace
The growing years, etched in this sacred place
Every line a measurement, of laughter and of grace
A country song of a father's pride, on that old workbench face

[Bridge]
The tools are quiet now, the children grown and flown
But those etched-in memories, they're never truly gone
This old bench stands witness, to seasons come and past
A silent keeper of the love that's meant to last

[Chorus]
Oh, the workbench marks, carved in pine and time
They chart the journey, a father's love sublime
From tiny steps to grown-up dreams they trace
The growing years, etched in this sacred place
Every line a measurement, of laughter and of grace
A country song of a father's pride, on that old workbench face

[Outro]
Yes, a country song of a father's pride
Where the love and the memories forever reside.
On that old workbench, by the shed's worn side.
