The Light We Lean Upon

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Mornings break with coffee steam Quiet love, a steady stream Thirty years of holding tight Through every storm, you've been the light A gentle hand, a patient soul The kind of love that makes me whole [Chorus] Oh babe, you're my sunshine Carrying us through the rain Strong arms, soft eyes, kind heart Mending every hidden pain You give and give and never count the cost Babe, with you, nothing's ever lost [Verse 2] Twenty-seven years of "I do" Four little worlds that look like you Their laughter echoes down the hall You taught them how to rise and fall You wear your tired like a crown Oh Shawn, you never let us down [Chorus] Oh babe, you're my sunshine Carrying us through the rain Strong arms, soft eyes, kind heart Mending every hidden pain You give and give and never count the cost Babe, with you, nothing's ever lost [Bridge] And when I stumbled, when I strayed You met me there with grace, not blame Forgiveness woven through your name A quiet kind of brave [Verse 3] Shawn, look at what we built from love Four heartbeats and a roof above A legacy that bears your face Your patient strength, your steady grace And when our children tell their own They'll say their father made this home [Chorus] Oh babe, you're my sunshine Carrying us through the rain Strong arms, soft eyes, kind heart Mending every hidden pain You give and give and never count the cost Babe, with you, nothing's ever lost [Outro] This one's for you, my Shawn You're the light we lean upon Still my sunshine, still my song
