The Laugh That Brought Me Back

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two kids who barely knew the other's name, Fifteen years went by, then back again. My heart was locked, the key was gone, But one real laugh, and the light came on. A quiet voice said, "stay a while," And I remembered how to smile. [Chorus] Here's to the man who held the line, Who built a home one piece at a time. Inflatable chairs and hand-me-downs, Love was the richest thing around. Father, husband, steady and true, Every good thing starts with you. [Verse 2] I walked away, thought I knew best, Three months apart put love to the test. December fourth, we said "I'm yours," Six years later, we said "I do." He held the faith when mine fell through, Best friend, safe place, my whole world too. [Chorus] Here's to the man who held the line, Who built a home one piece at a time. From empty rooms to lullabies, Love still shining in his eyes. Father, husband, steady and true, Every good thing starts with you. [Bridge] Jay, you fought for me when no one would, Chose me and loved me like you said you would. Jayven's hero, Jayna's too, Veena's heart belongs to you. [Verse 3] You rocked the babies, let me heal, Showed me love that's soft and real. Two under two, a noisy grace, Heaven living in this place. Hardest working, gentlest hands, The kind of love that understands. [Chorus] Here's to the man who held the line, Who built a home one piece at a time. From empty rooms to lullabies, Love still shining in his eyes. Father, husband, steady and true, Every good thing starts with you. [Outro] Jay, our foundation, our guiding light, Loved beyond words, day and night.
