Lyle

[Verse 1]
Forty-two years, we've come so far,
Through every season, every scar.
Two hands that held me through the night,
When storms rolled in and dimmed the light.
Somewhere along this winding road,
I found the truest heart I've known.

[Chorus]
Oh Lyle, you're my steady ground,
The gentle love I always found.
Through the fight, you never left my side,
Your faithful heart, my truest guide.
Thank you, love, for all you do,
There's no one, no one, quite like you.

[Verse 2]
You rise and kneel to say your prayers,
You carry me up every stair.
You cook the meals, you fold the clothes,
You tend to me through all the lows.
No word of mine could ever say
How grace walks in with you each day.

[Chorus]
Oh Lyle, you're my steady ground,
The gentle love I always found.
Through the fight, you never left my side,
Your faithful heart, my truest guide.
Thank you, love, for all you do,
There's no one, no one, quite like you.

[Bridge]
When I was weak, you made me strong,
Your quiet faith just carried on.
A devotion nothing here could break,
A love that heaven helped us make.

[Verse 3]
So here's my song, my humble part,
The overflow of one full heart.
I'd choose you, Lyle, a thousand more,
The same sweet man I'm grateful for.
My love for you will never end,
My husband, sweetheart, dearest friend.

[Chorus]
Oh Lyle, you're my steady ground,
The gentle love I always found.
Through the fight, you never left my side,
Your faithful heart, my truest guide.
Thank you, love, for all you do,
There's no one, no one, quite like you.

[Outro]
Everlasting, tried and true,
Forever, love, I'll cherish you.
