The Reason I Keep On

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There was a moment time stood still A whispered prayer, a fading will The doctors waited for a sign You stepped right up, you held the line You spoke for me when I could not You gave me back the breath I forgot [Chorus] You believed when I couldn't see You were the strength inside of me Through the storm, through the night You held my hand, you held me tight This love, this love is healing me This love, this love is setting me free [Verse 2] The hardest days, the treatments came You whispered low, you called my name Said baby eat, just one more bite Said baby fight, you've got the fight And every time I wanted to fall You were the reason through it all [Chorus] You believed when I couldn't see You were the strength inside of me Through the storm, through the night You held my hand, you held me tight This love, this love is healing me This love, this love is setting me free [Bridge] Oh Dean, my Dean, you saved my life For my children, grandchildren, and these days I'm alive Every test, every ache I bear I push through 'cause you are there [Verse 3] The pain still comes, I won't pretend But I'm still here, my love, my friend For every morning I get to see Your sleepy smile beside of me Dean, you're the reason I keep on The quiet courage, the rising dawn [Chorus] You believed when I couldn't see You were the strength inside of me Through the storm, through the night You held my hand, you held me tight This love, this love is healing me This love, this love is setting me free [Outro] Thank you, Dean, for holding on For every sunrise, every song I'm still here, and I'm here for you This love, this love, it pulled me through
