The Steady Heart of Mine

Lyrics

[Verse 1] We were just kids with a dream and a prayer Barely two pennies, but we didn't care Held on tight when the road got steep Made our promises we knew we'd keep Built a life from the ground on up Pouring love in a halfway cup [Chorus] Through the storms and the sweet sunshine You've been the steady heart of mine Mother, lover, my best friend The kind of love that never ends Thirty-five years and still we stand Your hand in mine, my hand in yours [Verse 2] Two beautiful kids and a country song You hummed me back when I felt all wrong When I was low, you held the light Carried me gently through the night Krista, you're the reason I'm still here Whispering grace in my ear [Chorus] Through the storms and the sweet sunshine You've been the steady heart of mine Mother, lover, my best friend The kind of love that never ends Thirty-five years and still we stand Your hand in mine, my hand in yours [Bridge] Every scar became a song Every tear made our love strong Krista, look how far we've come [Verse 3] Now the mornings feel like brand new ground Coffee warm and the kids around You're the answer to every prayer The gentle soul, the quiet care Happy Mother's Day, my guiding star Krista, I love you just as you are [Chorus] Through the storms and the sweet sunshine You've been the steady heart of mine Mother, lover, my best friend The kind of love that never ends Thirty-five years and still we stand Your hand in mine, my hand in yours [Outro] Just you and me and the road ahead Every word I mean, every word I've said
