Chased the Storm Away

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two roads that both had broken down, Two hearts still learning how to mend, I never thought I'd smile again, Or find my way back to a friend. Then somewhere in the wreckage, love, A quiet stranger came around. [Chorus] You showed me how to love again, When I had lost the way, You stayed right through the darkest night And chased the storm away. With laughter, grace, and steady hands, You held me when I'd fall — Oh, Dan, you're every good thing That I never dreamed at all. [Verse 2] When everyone had turned and gone, And I was standing there alone, You didn't leave, you took my hand, You made this weary heart a home. Near 22 years down the road, Still my best friend, still holding on. [Chorus] You showed me how to love again, When I had lost the way, You stayed right through the darkest night And chased the storm away. With laughter, grace, and steady hands, You held me when I'd fall — Oh, Dan, you're every good thing That I never dreamed at all. [Bridge] It's the way you make me laugh When the world is far too much, It's the way you love me daily With a look, a word, a touch. [Verse 3] So here's a song for no good cause, Just gratitude that fills my chest, For all the joy you carried in, For healing me and giving rest. I'd choose you, Dan, in every life, The greatest gift, the very best. [Chorus] You showed me how to love again, And here I'll always stay, Through every night and every dawn, You chase my clouds away. [Outro] Just because, I love you so, My laughter and my friend — With you, my Dan, I'm finally home, And I'd do it all again.
