Half of Every Lullaby

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet kind of hero In the middle of our home The one who steadies all the chaos The one who's always known A steady hand, a guiding light Through every season, every fight Met in Colorado, mountain high Thirty years gone by [Chorus] Here's to the rock, here's to the heart The one who held us from the start Through every storm, through every mile Your blue eyes still light up our smile A father's love, a husband's hand The strongest, kindest, gentlest man [Verse 2] From Fort Carson to Chicago You brought us safely home Park Ridge streets and porch light evenings A family of our own Isabel and Riley grew On every word of truth from you Half of every lullaby Half of every "try" [Chorus] Here's to the rock, here's to the heart The one who held us from the start Through every storm, through every mile Your blue eyes still light up our smile A father's love, a husband's hand The strongest, kindest, gentlest man [Bridge] Oh James, you're the planner, the dreamer, the friend The laughter at dinner, the calm in the wind [Verse 3] Twenty-seven years of choosing Twenty-seven years of you Tassie's heart still beats your name, love In everything we do Since 2003 a dad so true Two grown kids who shine like you We wouldn't trade a single day James, we love you more than words can say [Chorus] Here's to the rock, here's to the heart The one who held us from the start Through every storm, through every mile Your blue eyes still light up our smile A father's love, a husband's hand The strongest, kindest, gentlest man [Outro] Happy Father's Day, our guiding light James, you're our forever, our every right
