My Steady, Faithful One

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love don't shout, it settles in slow, Steady and quiet, the truest kind I know. A hardworking man with dirt on his hands, A heart that thinks twice before it makes its plans. You told me once, calm as the morning air, "This is the start of something big" — and you were there. [Chorus] Babe, you're the love of my life, you always say, And you show it in a hundred quiet ways. Fifty-three years, and you still surprise, With that gentle patience shining in your eyes. Lawrence, my steady one, my faithful friend, I'd walk this whole road with you again. [Verse 2] You never drag up the old and the worn, You let go of the anger, the heartache and thorn. You just want to make me happy, that's your way, A surprise on the days I feared you'd look away. Through the years you mellowed, soft and kind, A thoughtful, tender heart I'm proud to call mine. [Chorus] Babe, you're the love of my life, you always say, And you show it in a hundred quiet ways. Fifty-three years, and you still surprise, With that gentle patience shining in your eyes. Lawrence, my steady one, my faithful friend, I'd walk this whole road with you again. [Bridge] Faith brought us here, and love has kept us strong, Through every storm, our family carried on. [Verse 3] There for our three boys whenever they call, The rock that has never once let them fall. Seventy-two, and your heart's still true, Lawrence, here's to more good years with you. May God grant us health and time to share, A quiet kind of love beyond compare. [Outro] Happy birthday, my steady, faithful one, Our story's far from over — it's just begun.
