You Stayed and Stayed

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people see the storm clouds roll And find the silver lining still A steady hand, a gentle soul Who holds the pieces when they spill You never let the shadows win You always find the brighter side [Chorus] You are my rock, my solid ground The one who keeps me safe and sound When I'm lost you bring me home I never have to walk alone With every broken thing you mend You prove that love won't ever end [Verse 2] When frustration fills my chest And patience wears me paper thin You hold me close against your breast And calm the war that rages in Chris, you see the best in me When I can barely see at all You take my hand so tenderly And catch me every time I fall [Chorus] You are my rock, my solid ground The one who keeps me safe and sound When I'm lost you bring me home I never have to walk alone With every broken thing you mend You prove that love won't ever end [Bridge] March the first, ninety-eight Standing there I knew my fate Then Bradley came and Briana too The happiest days I owe to you Chris, you never walked away You stayed and stayed and stayed [Verse 3] You fix the fences and the doors But what you really fix is me A love like yours, it heals and pours Into the places none can see Through every season, every storm You kept this family safe and warm Chris, I love you more than anything More than any words could start [Chorus] You are my rock, my solid ground The one who keeps me safe and sound When I'm lost you bring me home I never have to walk alone With every broken thing you mend You prove that love won't ever end [Outro] So here's to you, my everything Chris, my rock, my golden ring
