The Steady Flame Beside Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A summer day, a brand new street, A boy next door I had to meet. Six long years of holding hands, Building dreams and laying plans. Then I walked down the aisle to you, And every word I spoke was true. [Chorus] Forty-seven years of you and me, Through every joy, through every need. You're my husband, my best friend, The hand I'll hold until the end. Thank God above for what we share, For every breath, for every prayer. [Verse 2] Three little hearts came one by one, Two daughters dancing, then our son. You worked so hard, you loved so deep, You rocked them gently into sleep. The years flew by like songs in flight, And still you hold me every night. [Chorus] Forty-seven years of you and me, Through every joy, through every need. You're my husband, my best friend, The hand I'll hold until the end. Thank God above for what we share, For every breath, for every prayer. [Bridge] Michael, oh, the life we've grown, Five grandkids running through our home. Every laugh, every tear, You've been my strength year after year. [Verse 3] Now Father's Day, I see it clear, The greatest gift has been you here. Michael, you're the steady flame, The quiet pride behind our name. Blessed beyond what words can say, I thank the Lord for you each day. [Chorus] Forty-seven years of you and me, Through every joy, through every need. You're my husband, my best friend, The hand I'll hold until the end. Thank God above for what we share, For every breath, for every prayer. [Outro] My Michael, my forever song, With you is where I still belong.
