Miles of Roses

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people arrive like a quiet dawn Right when the night has gone on too long A gentle knock upon a weary door A kind of love you never knew before He drove for miles just to hold my hand Brought me roses, helped me understand [Chorus] You're my rock and my soft place to fall When the world turns upside down you stand tall With a love so steady, a heart so true Every prayer I whispered led to you Led to you [Verse 2] Andy, you were patient, you were sure Quietly persistent, strong and pure Seventy-five years of a life well made A father, a friend through every chapter played I wasn't there for all those golden days But I'm here now and I'm here to stay [Chorus] You're my rock and my soft place to fall When the world turns upside down you stand tall With a love so steady, a heart so true Every prayer I whispered led to you Led to you [Bridge] We've worked so hard, we've earned this road Now I get to share the heavy load Andy, on your birthday I just pray You feel how loved you are today [Verse 3] Even now you're catching me again Holding me through healing, through the pain Teach me how to play out on the green So we'll never spend a day between I'm honored that you asked me to be yours My heart, my soul, forever and then more [Chorus] You're my rock and my soft place to fall When the world turns upside down you stand tall With a love so steady, a heart so true Every prayer I whispered led to you Led to you [Outro] Happy birthday, Andy, my love, my friend I'm yours from now until the very end
