Still Holding That Ladder

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some days start like any other day Paper hearts and ribbons strung Inside that little Hallmark store Back when we were young You climbed up high to deck the walls I held that ladder tight You smiled down, and I felt butterflies Take off and catch their flight [Chorus] You're my comfort, you're my strength My shelter through it all Forty years of holding on And I never let you fall Here's to every mile behind us And the ones that we've got left [Verse 2] Then came October, '86 The eleventh, I recall Candy, you smiled across the table And I gave my heart, my all Since that night you changed my life Forever and for good We built a home, we raised a family Just like I prayed we would [Chorus] You're my comfort, you're my strength My shelter through it all Forty years of holding on And I never let you fall Here's to every mile behind us And the ones that we've got left [Bridge] Candy, if I had it all to do again I'd still be standing at that ladder then Holding steady, looking up at you Falling all over, like I used to [Verse 3] Now the years have silvered both our hair But the butterflies are still in there We've weathered storms and danced through rain And love kept finding its way again So raise a glass to all we've been And all that's still to come [Chorus] You're my comfort, you're my strength My shelter through it all Forty years of holding on And I never let you fall Here's to every mile behind us And the ones that we've got left [Outro] I'm still holding that ladder, Candy And I'm never letting go
