A Joke to Light the Way

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The road's been long and the nights got cold We've carried more than we were told Some storms blew in without a warning Some days we prayed to see the morning But every time the sky went gray You found a joke to light the way [Chorus] You've got this, baby, hold on tight The future's shining, burning bright Your courage holds me, your laughter heals Your love is the truest thing I feel Side by side, we'll make it through It only gets better, me and you [Verse 2] I've seen you tired, I've seen you bend But you never let the hard times win You'd grin at me across the room And chase away a world of gloom David, you make me laugh somehow Through every battle, then and now [Chorus] You've got this, baby, hold on tight The future's shining, burning bright Your courage holds me, your laughter heals Your love is the truest thing I feel Side by side, we'll make it through It only gets better, me and you [Bridge] So lean on me when the weight's too much I'll be your shelter and your touch Through every fire, every rain I'll stand beside you just the same [Verse 3] Our family's strong 'cause you stood tall You taught us how to face it all Now there's a sunrise up ahead With all the dreams we haven't said David, I'm here through everything With all the love my heart can bring [Chorus] You've got this, baby, hold on tight The future's shining, burning bright Your courage holds me, your laughter heals Your love is the truest thing I feel Side by side, I'll see you through It only gets better, me and you [Outro] So laugh with me, my love, my man We'll heal together, hand in hand David, the best is yet to come
