Still My Poem, Still My Dear

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The elevator doors slid open wide A poem stirred somewhere deep inside Two eyes that caught me, held me still A quiet voice that whispered, "she always will" I scribbled words I couldn't quite explain The day my whole world learned her name [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on Through every storm and breaking dawn Built on love, on faith, on grace A family raised in this sacred place Adrianne, you're the song I sing The truest thing this heart has seen [Verse 2] She rocked the babies, taught them how to pray Showed them kindness in the smallest way A mother's hands, a grandmother's smile Walking with the Lord each blessed mile Her courage steady, her spirit strong She's been my home, my whole life long [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on Through every storm and breaking dawn Built on love, on faith, on grace A family raised in this sacred place Adrianne, you're the song I sing The truest thing this heart has seen [Bridge] Some loves fade like morning dew But darling, mine just grew and grew Half a century, still brand new [Verse 3] If those doors opened up again today I'd fall the same exact sweet way Your eyes, your faith, your gentle hand The bravest soul I understand Adrianne, my forever friend I'd choose you 'til the very end [Chorus] Fifty years of holding on Through every storm and breaking dawn Built on love, on faith, on grace A family raised in this sacred place You're the song my heart still sings The truest, dearest, sweetest thing [Outro] From elevator doors to here Still my poem, still my dear
