Bows In Your Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sixteen years old, two hearts on fire Then life pulled us miles apart Twelve long years, but you never quit You searched and you kept the faith Five more years 'til I said yes To the boy who never gave up [Chorus] This is a song for the man who stayed Through the distance and the waiting days Through the storms and the quiet nights Holding on with all his might A love that's built on faith and grace The strongest heart, the kindest place [Verse 2] December twentieth, I became your bride You crossed an ocean to my side Left your whole world back at home Just so we'd never be alone You traded everything you knew For the family we'd grow into [Chorus] This is a song for the man who stayed Through the distance and the waiting days Through the storms and the quiet nights Holding on with all his might A love that's built on faith and grace The strongest heart, the kindest place [Bridge] Then Yna came so early, so small And Larry, oh Larry, you stood tall Braver than me to hold her first In the NICU, you never left [Verse 3] Now you work late, still do the chores Check our room and lock the doors Pack my lunch before the dawn Drive me in, still hold the door You play with dolls, wear bows in your hair One "Dada" and you're already there [Chorus] This is a song for the man who stayed Through every prayer that we ever prayed Larry, our rock, our peace, our light Daddy's girl sleeps safe tonight A love that's built on faith and grace The strongest heart, the kindest place [Outro] Happy Father's Day, my love You're the answer to every prayer above Larry, you're home, you're peace, you're ours Forever and always, yours
