The Sidelines Brought Us Together

Lyrics

[Verse 1] On a sideline in the fall Two strangers standing tall Didn't see it coming, no Wasn't love at first at all But something slowly changed When the walls came down between us And I found a heart that rearranged Everything I thought I needed [Chorus] Diane, you're my rock, you're my shore You're the strength I never knew I was looking for Through the laughter, through the tears You're the brave and steady love That carries me through the years [Verse 2] Six kids and a blended start You held it all together Even when the storm tore apart What should have lasted forever You stood tall, you held the line Still giving, still believing With a love that somehow finds the time To lift up everyone you're reaching [Chorus] Diane, you're my rock, you're my shore You're the strength I never knew I was looking for Through the laughter, through the tears You're the brave and steady love That carries me through the years [Bridge] From New Hampshire down to Carolina Back again where we belong Aruba sand beneath our feet You make everywhere feel like a song [Verse 3] Summers up at camp, the Boston games on loud Red Sox, Celtics, all our crew Memere with the grandkids, making everyone so proud Nobody loves harder than you We laugh until we cry You make me want to be better And I thank God every night That the sidelines brought us together [Chorus] Diane, you're my rock, you're my shore You're the strength I never knew I was looking for Through the laughter, through the tears You're the brave and steady love That carries me through the years [Outro] So here's to you, my everything Diane, my heart, my home You'll never walk this life alone
