You Held On Through It All

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people search a lifetime For a hand to hold them through A love that weathers every storm And stays forever true Thirty years of mornings Waking up beside a heart so strong [Chorus] You are the steady ground beneath my feet The arms that hold me when the world's unkind Through every battle you stayed right with me Uwe, you're my shelter, my peace of mind And I love you more with every passing day More than these words could ever say [Verse 2] When the fight was at its hardest And I didn't have the strength You carried what I couldn't bear You loved me through the pain You never turned away from me Uwe, you held on through it all [Chorus] You are the steady ground beneath my feet The arms that hold me when the world's unkind Through every battle you stayed right with me Uwe, you're my shelter, my peace of mind And I love you more with every passing day More than these words could ever say [Bridge] The best dad, the best grandpa Great grandpa with that gentle way Every life you've touched with grace Is better 'cause you stayed [Verse 3] Thirty years and still my heart Finds something new to love The way devotion fills your hands Like it was never quite enough You gave this family everything And somehow gave me even more [Chorus] You are the steady ground beneath my feet The arms that hold me when the world's unkind Through every battle you stayed right with me Uwe, you're my shelter, my peace of mind And I love you more with every passing day More than these words could ever say [Outro] Thirty years and counting, love Uwe, you're truly the best I know
