You Volunteered Your Soul

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some hearts arrive already torn Carrying scars from before the dawn But love showed up without a sound Stood at the door and held his ground He didn't run from what was hard He just walked in and filled the yard [Chorus] Here's to the man who chose it all The messy nights and the early calls Who held a heart he didn't break And gave it more than it could take Here's to the love that stayed and grew This song's a thank you long overdue [Verse 2] Josh you stepped in for little Bryn Like she was yours right from the begin Then BlakeJo came and made us four And every day you gave us more From bleacher seats to Friday lights Cheering loud on those cool fall nights [Chorus] Here's to the man who chose it all The messy nights and the early calls Who held a heart he didn't break And gave it more than it could take Here's to the love that stayed and grew This song's a thank you long overdue [Bridge] October fourteen changed my name But Josh you'd already changed the game You showed me sticking out the hard days Is love's most beautiful kind of praise [Verse 3] So when you call me Pumpkin dear I feel the weight of every year The strength it took to build this life To love a daughter and a wife Some men are born into the role But Josh you volunteered your soul [Chorus] Here's to the man who chose it all The messy nights and the early calls Who held a heart he didn't break And gave it more than it could take Here's to the love that stayed and grew This song's a thank you long overdue [Outro] Happy Father's Day to you The dad who chose us through and through
