The Steady Hand That Waited

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Twenty-one and finding my way, A small town salon on an ordinary day. You walked in for a simple cut, Asked my name, and that was enough. Same age, same roads, but worlds apart, Still somehow you saw my heart. [Chorus] Some loves take their time to grow, Some hearts wander 'fore they know. But you were always meant to be The steady hand that waited for me. Through every season, sun and rain, My forever, my truest name. [Verse 2] Nine long years and a road I'd run, Came back to find you the only one. No ring yet, but you asked me anyway, And I knew I'd found my way. Married in September, the world unsure, But our love was something pure. [Chorus] Some loves take their time to grow, Some hearts wander 'fore they know. But you were always meant to be The steady hand that waited for me. Through every season, sun and rain, My forever, my truest name. [Bridge] Cabo storms on our honeymoon night, We laughed through the wind, we held on tight. If that was a sign of what we'd weather, Oh Joe, we'd come through anything together. [Verse 3] Two sons grown, with fields and dreams, A home we built from quiet things. You're loyal, steady, true and kind, The greatest love I'll ever find. Twenty-five years, and Joe, it's true, Every road was leading me to you. [Chorus] Some loves take their time to grow, Some hearts wander 'fore they know. But you were always meant to be The steady hand that waited for me. Through every season, sun and rain, My forever, my truest name. [Outro] Here's to us, Joe, and all we've known, The beautiful life that we have grown.
