Garland

[Verse 1]
Years went by like a quiet stream,
Two hearts sharing the same old dream.
We loved each other, that much was true,
But somewhere along the road we grew
A little distant, side by side —
Then came a storm we couldn't hide.

[Chorus]
And you stood tall, my Garland, in the rain,
You held my hand and carried all my pain.
A steel magnolia, soft but never small,
You're my light, my strength, my love, my all.

[Verse 2]
When the news came and shook my ground,
You never faltered, you stuck around.
With a smile that could move a mountain wide,
Your positive heart became my guide.
What tried to take me only proved
Just how deep and fierce you loved.

[Chorus]
And you stood tall, my Garland, in the rain,
You held my hand and carried all my pain.
A steel magnolia, soft but never small,
You're my light, my strength, my love, my all.

[Bridge]
Funny how the darkest night
Brought us closer to the light.
What we lost, we found again —
Stronger now than we've ever been.

[Verse 3]
So here's to healing, hand in hand,
The kind of love that helped me stand.
You're gentle grace and iron will,
The girl I'm falling for still.
No fancy reason, no special day —
Just because I love you this way.

[Chorus]
And you stood tall, my Garland, in the rain,
You held my hand and carried all my pain.
A steel magnolia, soft but never small,
You're my light, my strength, my love, my all.

[Outro]
So bloom on, darling, through it all,
My steel magnolia, standing tall.
