The Dream That Finally Stayed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to dream of someone standing guard A faceless man beneath the stars I'd wake up reaching for a hand That wasn't there, but God had a plan Then blue eyes walked into my world And that old dream just disappeared [Chorus] Here's to the one who holds me up With gentle hands and stubborn love Who carries more than he should bear And makes me feel like grace lives there Through twenty years of faith and fire You're every prayer lifted higher [Verse 2] Six foot three of charm and grin Dad jokes rolling, acting twelve again A bull in a China shop, messy to the bone But Scott, you built a life with those hands alone Two broken roads, two single hearts God always knew we'd find the spark [Chorus] Here's to the one who holds me up With gentle hands and stubborn love Who carries more than he should bear And makes me feel like grace lives there Through twenty years of faith and fire You're every prayer lifted higher [Bridge] Seventeen years of learning to hold on Then said forever and meant every word Scott, we finally got it right God gave us back the morning light [Verse 3] I can be myself and you love me still That's the kind of love only heaven spills Your daddy's hands passed down to you So strong and healing, tender and true You're my best friend, my protector, my peace Scott, you're the dream that never leaves [Chorus] Here's to the one who holds me up With gentle hands and stubborn love Who carries more than he should bear And makes me feel like grace lives there Through twenty years of faith and fire You're every prayer lifted higher [Outro] Happy birthday to my forever man I'm yours for good, just as I am
