The Smile Inside My Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A blind date, a chance somebody took One nervous smile, one steady look He stood so tall, the kind you don't forget Said my eyes twinkled when I spoke A quiet spark, a gentle joke That was the night the rest of life was set [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for this blessing A faithful gift from up above For every kindness, every quiet grace For a hand to hold, a steady place My heart still smiles, it always will For the man who keeps me steady still [Verse 2] I knew it soon, deep in my bones This was the road, this was the home A devotion built on simple, holy things You walk into the room, Al, and my heart sings A smile from you, the sweetest sound The kind of love that turns me 'round [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for this blessing A faithful gift from up above For every kindness, every quiet grace For a hand to hold, a steady place My heart still smiles, it always will For the man who keeps me steady still [Bridge] Through every season, every year Faith has kept us, drawn us near Just because, I had to say I'd choose you, Al, again today [Verse 3] There's comfort in your steady ways A gratitude that fills my days The world goes loud, but you make it kind You're the answered prayer I didn't know I'd find And if the years could speak my part You're the smile inside my heart [Chorus] Thank you, Lord, for this blessing A faithful gift from up above For every kindness, every quiet grace For a hand to hold, a steady place My heart still smiles, it always will For the man who keeps me steady still [Outro] Just because, sweet Al, it's true My heart still smiles for you
