The Heart That Holds Us Here

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-nine years of mornings, coffee on the stove A quiet kind of love that only time has known Through every season turning, every up and down We built a life on faith, on solid ground [Chorus] Oh, you taught us how to love You taught us how to stay Through the laughter and the tears You showed us the way With God above and family near Nothing else compares You're the heart that holds us here [Verse 2] Four little ones grew up beneath your gentle hand Now they're standing tall, you helped them understand A nurse with healing fingers, a mother's steady prayer Forgiveness in your eyes, grace beyond compare [Chorus] Oh, you taught us how to love You taught us how to stay Through the laughter and the tears You showed us the way With God above and family near Nothing else compares You're the heart that holds us here [Bridge] Darla, my Darla, the strength inside your soul Held this family together, made us whole [Verse 3] Four grandbabies laughing, and two more on the way Every blessing multiplied with every passing day Darla Trammell, my forever, my truest friend I'd choose you all over again, and again, and again [Chorus] Oh, you taught us how to love You taught us how to stay Through the laughter and the tears You showed us the way With God above and family near Nothing else compares Darla, you're the heart that holds us here [Outro] Twenty-nine years, and I'm still falling Still your man, still your home With you, my love, I'm never alone
