Golden Eyes, Steady Ground

Lyrics

[Verse 1] In the halls of Tacoma General Where healing hands meet tired souls I never knew that love was waiting In a laugh that made me whole You walked in with that easy smile And something in me just knew Twenty years between us faded The moment I found you [Chorus] Ralph Mitchell, you're my steady ground Through every storm, you hold me down Seventeen years and still I find New reasons why you're mine My amazingly smart and handsome silver fox You are the key to every lock In your golden eyes I see Forever's just beginning for you and me [Verse 2] Layer by layer, like an onion You reveal your tender heart You fought through fire, came out stronger Nothing could tear us apart You drove me to work, you held my hand When Honduras called me away Every mile, every midnight phone call You loved me through each day [Chorus] Ralph Mitchell, you're my steady ground Through every storm, you hold me down Seventeen years and still I find New reasons why you're mine My amazingly smart and handsome silver fox You are the key to every lock In your golden eyes I see Forever's just beginning for you and me [Bridge] You see the strength I can't see in myself You pull it out when I'm running low You loved my son like your very own Sweetie, I need you to know [Verse 3] Ten years married, spring is blooming March forever holds our day From Costa Rica gold to Bible study Love grows in every way Choosing you was choosing home A protector, partner, friend Seventeen years and honey, listen Our story's just beginning again [Chorus] Ralph Mitchell, you're my steady ground Through every storm, you hold me down Seventeen years and still I find New reasons why you're mine My amazingly smart and handsome silver fox You are the key to every lock In your golden eyes I see Forever's just beginning for you and me [Outro] Every single day my love grows more Ralph, the best is still in store
