Steady Heart from Carolina

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love stories start with fire But ours began with something true A friendship born in Sumter, South Carolina Two hearts that already knew Forty years of standing steady Every promise kept, every word [Chorus] Wendell, I thank God for a man like you Humble and strong in all you do A quiet strength, a faithful heart Loving me right from the start Thank God for a love this deep A blessing that I'll always keep [Verse 2] You never once disrespected me Always gentle, always kind Same warm heart from when we met at Shaw Same steady soul, same amazing love [Chorus] Wendell, I thank God for a man like you Humble and strong in all you do A quiet strength, a faithful heart Loving me right from the start Thank God for a love this deep A blessing that I'll always keep [Bridge] Incredible father to Wendell the Second and Janae Amazing Pop Pop to Ariah every day The world needs more men with a heart like yours A love beyond measure that forever endures [Verse 3] Wendell, thank you for putting me first You worked so hard to keep us together An amazing provider who never complains Forty years and baby, we're still not done Our greatest chapter's only just begun [Chorus] Wendell, I thank God for a man like you Humble and strong in all you do A quiet strength, a faithful heart Loving me right from the start Thank God for a love this deep A blessing that I'll always keep [Outro] From your lover, your best friend, your wife Wendell, you are the love of my life Happy 40th Anniversary, baby I love you always and forever
