The Autumn of My Story

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We started out as friends, you and I Two hearts that had been broken, learning how to try I had built these walls so high and wide Sure I'd never let another soul inside But your honest eyes and steady hand Showed me love again, slow and unplanned [Chorus] And I'm thankful, oh so thankful For the quiet way you stay For the safety in your laughter And the comfort of your way In the autumn of my story You're the warmest light I've known Every day a simple blessing Every moment, ours alone [Verse 2] There were nights I thought I'd walk alone That I'd never call another heart my home Then you came in like morning light Patient as the dawn, gentle as the night Steve, you taught me how to trust again How to love without an end [Chorus] And I'm thankful, oh so thankful For the quiet way you stay For the safety in your laughter And the comfort of your way In the autumn of my story You're the warmest light I've known Every day a simple blessing Every moment, ours alone [Bridge] Who would've thought a friendship Could bloom into all of this Family, joy, and tenderness In every single kiss [Verse 3] So here we are with silver in our hair Building something beautiful, beyond compare Steve, I'm blessed to walk beside you now Through the golden seasons, somehow What was lost has been restored In the love that we've grown toward [Chorus] And I'm thankful, oh so thankful For the quiet way you stay For the safety in your laughter And the comfort of your way In the autumn of my story You're the warmest light I've known Every day a simple blessing Every moment, ours alone [Outro] Oh Steve, my friend, my love, my home In your arms I'm never alone
