The Day You Opened Your Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The first time that I saw your face My whole world shifted into place A quiet knowing, soft and true I'd found my home the day I found you Three years apart while you chased your dream Distance never broke the seam Love kept writing every page [Chorus] You're the steady in my storm The shelter keeping me warm The hand I reach for, the heart I know The love that taught me how to grow A father, a husband, a friend so true Every good thing, I found in you [Verse 2] You took my girls and called them yours Nicole and Kendra, hearts and doors Wide open, never once a doubt That's what a father's love's about When my mind got lost in the gray You stayed right there and lit the way Holding me through every night [Chorus] You're the steady in my storm The shelter keeping me warm The hand I reach for, the heart I know The love that taught me how to grow A father, a husband, a friend so true Every good thing, I found in you [Bridge] When my parents slipped away Rick, you held us through the pain Big heart wide as any sky Loving Thor and Loki goodbye [Verse 3] You bring the joy to ordinary days A thousand little tender ways My family found its second start The day you opened up your heart So here's a song for Father's Day For everything words can't say Rick, you're the reason we believe [Chorus] You're the steady in my storm The shelter keeping me warm The hand I reach for, the heart I know The love that taught me how to grow A father, a husband, a friend so true Every good thing, I found in you [Outro] Rick, my love, my always true Every good thing, I found in you
