The Arms That Held Me

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning down a gravel road A little house where all our stories go Coffee in the window, morning soft and slow The kind of quiet only two hearts know You kept the cupboards full, the fire warm Garry, you've been my shelter from the storm [Chorus] You love me deep, you tell me every day Like the sun don't know another way You'd move a mountain if I asked you to And I'd do it all again, I'd still choose you [Verse 2] We raised two boys and our sweet little girl You gave them all you had, you gave them the world New boots each fall and Christmas lights so bright You worked so hard to make our home feel right [Chorus] You love me deep, you tell me every day Like the sun don't know another way You'd move a mountain if I asked you to And I'd do it all again, I'd still choose you [Bridge] Then came the day we lost our Kerri And the whole sky came down on me You held me up when I could barely stand Through that long year, you never let go of my hand [Verse 3] You let me cry, you never said move on You stayed beside me till the dark was gone You taught this broken heart to heal again The strongest arms, the gentlest of men [Chorus] You love me deep, Garry, every day Like the sun don't know another way You'd move a mountain if I asked you to And I'd do it all again, I'd still choose you [Outro] Fifty-three years, and I'd live them all again My husband, my comfort, my forever friend
