The Only Steps in This House

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-two years ago this spring I walked down the aisle with everything Three little girls holding tight to me Wondering what our life would be A quiet man with a steady hand Stepped right in and took a stand [Chorus] He said the only steps in this house Go up and down, no in-betweens We're one family, one love, one dream A military heart, a faithful soul The kind of love that makes you whole Thank God for a daddy like him [Verse 2] The preacher asked, do you take her now He gave that crooked little smile somehow Fifteen seconds felt like years Then a "yes" that dried my tears That's my Glenn, slow and sure A love that's stayed forever pure [Chorus] He said the only steps in this house Go up and down, no in-betweens We're one family, one love, one dream A military heart, a faithful soul The kind of love that makes you whole Thank God for a daddy like him [Bridge] My Hunkyman, my steady ground The best of love I ever found Don't take life too serious, he'd say And love them all, come what may [Verse 3] Ten years on, a son arrived And not one ounce of pride divided The girls just loved that little boy 'Cause daddy filled our home with joy Glenn Peterman, you gave me wings Showed me the world and finer things [Chorus] He said the only steps in this house Go up and down, no in-betweens We're one family, one love, one dream A military heart, a faithful soul The kind of love that makes you whole Thank God for a daddy like Glenn [Outro] Oh Glenn, my hope, my faith, my friend A legacy that knows no end Happy Father's Day, my love
