There was a comforting thought at the close of my life when I was weary and lonesome and scared; that sort of got into my crusty old heart and made it merry and glad.~
It got in my soul, and it drove out the blues and it finally thrilled me through..
It was just a grand, sweet chanting refrain
I'm glad I touched shoulders with you.
Did you know you were brave, did you know you were strong?
Did you know there was one leaning hard?
Did you know that I waited, and listened, and prayed and was cheered by your comforting word?
Did you know that I longed for the smile on your face, for the sound of your voice ringing true?
Did you know I grew better and stronger because I had merely touched shoulders with you?~
Oh, I never had wealth and never had fame,
but I had much better than those..
For I had in my life the love that you gave
When once I touched shoulders with you.
