You Say I Saved Your Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light burning on a gravel road Some folks carry heavy, some just carry the load I've seen storms come rolling over fields of hay And I've seen the ones who stand and never walk away Forty-three years now, we've walked it side by side You held my hand through every long and lonely night [Chorus] You say I saved your life, George, but you saved mine You were my rock in the darkness, my light every time When the storm came for me, you never let go You stood tall when I was too tired to hold You're the strength in my weakness, the comfort in my fears George, you're our hero, through all of these years [Verse 2] Then the hardest storm came for our Christopher You never left his side, not one single hour You were brave for him when brave was all he had Held him close the way that only a daddy can When we said goodbye that cold January day You carried me and Holly when I couldn't find my way [Chorus] You say I saved your life, George, but you saved mine You were my rock in the darkness, my light every time When the storm came for me, you never let go You stood tall when I was too tired to hold You're the strength in my weakness, the comfort in my fears George, you're our hero, through all of these years [Outro] Forty-three years and I'd live them all again My rock, my hero, my husband and my friend When this life is over, I'll still hold your hand You saved mine, darling, more than you'll understand
