The Bet I Lost to Win

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was lost inside a mountain haze Hiding from the weight of darker days Then a log home started taking shape And the builder brought me back to faith God knew exactly what He'd planned Sent me more than just a working man [Chorus] You're heaven sent, you're my steady ground My calm when chaos spins me round Through every storm you just got stronger Loved me harder, held me longer You're the answer to a prayer I didn't even know was there [Verse 2] Tony, up in Duck Creek I walked out From that trailer full of fear and doubt You were always early, always kind Piece by piece you built this life of mine Then I made that bet and lost the game Won a dinner down at Milt's instead And nothing's ever been the same [Chorus] You're heaven sent, you're my steady ground My calm when chaos spins me round Through every storm you just got stronger Loved me harder, held me longer You're the answer to a prayer I didn't even know was there [Bridge] Four kids woven into something whole Fifteen years of mending what was broken Tony, you became the home My heart had never spoken [Verse 3] You make the best coffee every morning I love the way you move with quiet grace You always know just how to fix what's broken And put the whole wide world back into place When the hard years came and most would crumble Tony, you just smiled and held the line [Chorus] You're heaven sent, you're my steady ground My calm when chaos spins me round Through every storm you just got stronger Loved me harder, held me longer You're the answer to a prayer I didn't even know was there [Outro] After all these years you're still the one Still my favorite tulips in the sun
