Carolina Pines and Rain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was a child of moving skies No town to call my own Every base a stranger's face 'Til Carolina felt like home A college boy with steady hands Brought soup when I was ill That's the first time I knew love The first time I knew Will [Chorus] You're my anchor, you're my shelter You're the calm inside the storm Through the breaking and the mending In your arms I'm always warm Thank you for the quiet hero For the love that never bends You're my home, my heart, my Father's Day My beginning and my end [Verse 2] Dakota at our feet A little house, a baby's cry Mia in your gentle arms Beneath a Carolina sky No family but the one we built Just us against the years And when your breath was almost gone You held me through the tears [Chorus] You're my anchor, you're my shelter You're the calm inside the storm Through the breaking and the mending In your arms I'm always warm Thank you for the quiet hero For the love that never bends You're my home, my heart, my Father's Day My beginning and my end [Bridge] When I couldn't stand, you carried me Step by step, you set me free Every scar a song we share Every breath a whispered prayer [Verse 3] Back where it all began for us Carolina pines and rain A daughter who adores her dad A love that's grown through pain Whatever roads still lie ahead I'll walk them all with you Happy Father's Day, my Will There's nothing we can't do [Outro] You're my safe place, you're my song The strongest love I've known Wherever you are, my Will That's where I call home
