The Arms I've Been Held In

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bright lights humming in the quiet room Steady hands beneath the morning's bloom A glance across the operating floor Something steady I'd been waiting for Blue eyes finding mine through all the noise A softer kind of hope, a steadier voice [Chorus] You are the calm, you are the song The arms I've been held in all along Through every season, every year Honey, I'm still grateful you are here Love that healed me, love that stayed The truest friend I've ever made [Verse 2] Thirty-four years of walking side by side Through tender mornings and the changing tides You brought me peace when storms rolled in A gentle strength, a place to begin And when you hold me close tonight I'm back to that first, electric light [Chorus] You are the calm, you are the song The arms I've been held in all along Through every season, every year Honey, I'm still grateful you are here Love that healed me, love that stayed The truest friend I've ever made [Bridge] The moments of Phoebe, soft and small You were there, my heart through it all Phillip, my anchor, my quiet sky The reason love still makes me cry [Verse 3] Kind and caring, helpful, true Every day I'm choosing you Thirty-two years of vows we keep And deeper still the roots run deep Phillip, my honey, my dearest friend This is a love that will not end [Chorus] You are the calm, you are the song The arms I've been held in all along Through every season, every year Honey, I'm still grateful you are here Love that healed me, love that stayed The truest friend I've ever made [Outro] Blue eyes, soft light, hand in mine Yours and mine, for all of time
