Everything Good Came From You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Forty-six years down the sideline, Whistle sharp and gymnasium bright, Chasing wins through the seasons, Come the morning, home each night. But the truest game we ever played Was the quiet life we made. [Chorus] You were the rock, you were the grace, The steady heart, the smiling face. Through all the years I chased the game, You held our world and kept the flame. Oh Carol, my love so true, Everything good, it came from you. [Verse 2] You ran a home full of little ones, Rocking cradles, wiping tears, Raised five of our own babies Through the laughter and the years. Cherie, Teri, Mindi too, Bridget and Ricky grew from you. [Chorus] You were the rock, you were the grace, The steady heart, the smiling face. Through all the years I chased the game, You held our world and kept the flame. Oh Carol, my love so true, Everything good, it came from you. [Bridge] Thirteen grandkids, three greats and more, A family blooming from our door. Sixty-one years and I still see The girl who gave her all to me. [Verse 3] Now I sit and count the blessings, Every wrinkle, every gray, There's no trophy on my mantle Worth the love you gave each day. Carol, this song's my humble part, A whispered thank-you from my heart. [Chorus] You were the rock, you were the grace, The steady heart, the smiling face. Through all the years I chased the game, You held our world and kept the flame. Oh Carol, my love so true, Everything good, it came from you. [Outro] Just because, my dear, it's true, Everything good, it came from you.
