You Built Us a Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some men just show up when it counts, Steady through the highs and lows, Building something day by day In the quiet love that grows. Through Friday lights and morning games, A heart that opened up its door. [Chorus] Oh, you took us all in, Made us family, made us whole, Every laugh and every year Written deep inside my soul. Here's to all the love we've known — Hopper, you built us a home. [Verse 2] You cheered every football night, Every soccer, every play, Then the baseball, softball swings, You were there for every day. Hung the lights on Christmas Eve And chased the Halloween away. Debbie, Teddy, Timmy grew Beneath the shelter of your name. [Chorus] Oh, you took us all in, Made us family, made us whole, Every laugh and every year Written deep inside my soul. Here's to all the love we've known — Hopper, you built us a home. [Bridge] From Ship Bottom's golden sand To Kenny singing in the night, St. John shores and Key West days, You made every moment bright. [Verse 3] You'd rather rest there in your chair, But you danced for all the kids instead. Baltimore and Fort Lauderdale, So many roads we've gladly tread. And still your love is my true north, A legacy that carries on. [Chorus] Oh, you took us all in, Made us family, made us whole, Every laugh and every year Written deep inside my soul. Here's to all the love we've known — Hopper, you built us a home. [Outro] Through every year, through every mile, You're still my hope, you're still my smile.
