Still You're Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back when the world was young and wild, Two hearts still learning, barely grown, I was twenty, you eighteen, Building something all our own. Some years were storms that shook the ground, But somehow love kept holding on. [Chorus] Oh Joey, you're the answered prayer, The steady hand, the one who stayed, Through every fire, every tear, You loved me and you never swayed. Forty-eight years, still you're here, My heart, my home, my whole life made. [Verse 2] In ninety-five I bowed my head, I asked the Lord to change your heart, And morning came, and love was new, A tender, sweeter, gentle start. You held me close when Mama passed, And when my brothers slipped away. [Chorus] Oh Joey, you're the answered prayer, The steady hand, the one who stayed, Through every fire, every tear, You loved me and you never swayed. Forty-eight years, still you're here, My heart, my home, my whole life made. [Bridge] When the storm tried to take me down, You sat beside me every day, Through the burns and all the pain, Your love became the strength to stay. [Verse 3] Now Shannon, Joe, and Josh have grown, And little ones have found our door, Kylen, Kolton, Briella Rose, Our pride, our joy, our so-much-more. I'm standing whole, I'm standing free, And it was always you and me. [Chorus] Oh Joey, you're the answered prayer, The steady hand, the one who stayed, Through every fire, every tear, You loved me and you never swayed. Forty-eight years, still you're here, My heart, my home, my whole life made. [Outro] So here's my hand, take it again, Forever, love, till life is through.
