Sixty Years of Steady

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixty years of looking back, Down a long and steady track, You showed me how to stand my ground, How to lose and turn around. Between the work and what we love, You taught me what life's made of. [Chorus] You held the line, you let me fall, Then reminded me I could rise through it all. Not there to rescue, but to say, "You've got this, girl, find your own way." Through every storm and every test, Dad, you gave me your very best. [Verse 2] Burgers smoking on the grill, Summer evenings, time stood still. Golf course mornings, softball nights, Family gathered in the lights. You showed me balance, showed me grace, Joy can live in any place. [Chorus] You held the line, you let me fall, Then reminded me I could rise through it all. Not there to rescue, but to say, "You've got this, girl, find your own way." Through every storm and every test, Dad, you gave me your very best. [Bridge] When I felt I couldn't carry on, Your quiet faith kept pushing me along. Family is everything, that's what you'd say, And I carry those words with me every day. [Verse 3] Now I see what you've been building, A life of love, a life worth filling. Every lesson, every word, The strongest gift I ever heard. Sixty years of steady love, A father's heart, a hand above. [Chorus] You held the line, you let me fall, Then reminded me I could rise through it all. Not there to rescue, but to say, "You've got this, girl, find your own way." Through every storm and every test, Dad, you gave me your very best. [Outro] Happy Father's Day, Dad, For the strongest love your daughter's had.
