Even If You Forget My Face

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A blind date, who could have known Two strangers, but a seed was sown Fifty-eight years I've held you near Blue eyes that calmed away my fear And through it all I came to see Somehow, God sent you straight to me [Chorus] You were my rock when the storm rolled in When the ground gave way beneath our skin Your prayers, they carried me through the night Kept our family standing in the light Oh Doug, my faith, my steady ground In your love, my whole heart found [Verse 2] We laid two children down to rest And you held me against your chest Your quiet strength kept moving on You made me feel so safe, so strong And Anthony, our shining son Full of laughter, second to none [Bridge] Remember that train out west we rode Fifty years of love bestowed Now Anthony watches over two Helping care for me and you As the seasons gently roll He's a blessing to my soul [Verse 3] Now it's my turn to hold you tight To be your rock through every night And even if you can't recall my face I'll be right here, in this same place With Anthony close by our side In this love we still abide [Chorus] So I'll be your rock when the storm rolls in When the ground gives way beneath our skin My prayers will carry you through the night Keep our family standing in the light Oh Doug, my faith, my steady ground In your love, my whole heart is found [Outro] I promise you, I'm here to stay I'll love you more with every day
