![[My Little Hammer.mp3]]
**Key:** G Major
**Time Signature:** 4/4
**Mood:** Joyful, playful, and heart warming
**[Verse 1]**
In the forge where sparks do fly,
I saw her first, that gleam in her eye.
Her hammer swung with grace so fine,
And I knew one day, she’d be mine.
**[Chorus]**
Oh, my little hammer, strong and true,
No mountain’s tall enough to keep me from you.
With every swing, my heart does sing,
Oh, my little hammer, you’re my everything.
**[Verse 2]**
He’s a mountain tall, with hands of stone,
But his gentle touch is all I’ve known.
Together we build, from dawn till night,
And in his arms, the world feels right.
**[Chorus]**
Oh, my little hammer, strong and true,
No mountain’s tall enough to keep me from you.
With every swing, my heart does sing,
Oh, my little hammer, you’re my everything.
**[Bridge]**
Together we forge a life so bright,
Iron and love in the firelight.
Though I’m big and you’re so small,
Our love’s the strongest forge of all.
**[Chorus]**
Oh, my little hammer, strong and true,
No mountain’s tall enough to keep me from you.
With every swing, my heart does sing,
Oh, my little hammer, you’re my everything.
[Outro]
The sparks may fade, the iron may cool,
But our love’s a flame, steadfast and true.
Through every swing, through every storm,
You’re my little hammer, my heart so warm.
