If I Have It, It's Yours

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I used to keep my heart behind a fence Built from every hurt that never made much sense Learned to brace for leaving, learned to walk alone Till a patient kind of love came walking home You never pushed, you understood, you waited there [Chorus] Elizabeth, you're gentle but you're strong You'll set me straight, then hold me all night long If I have it, darlin', then it's yours too Without a question, I'd do anything for you [Verse 2] Your boy looked me over with those careful eyes Then he let me in, no test and no disguise He took me as I am, a little worn and rough Now I've got both your backs, and you've got mine That's the kind of love I've been praying for all this time [Chorus] Elizabeth, you're gentle but you're strong You'll set me straight, then hold me all night long If I have it, darlin', then it's yours too Without a question, I'd do anything for you [Bridge] I was scared to trust again, I'll admit it's true But every fear I carried laid down next to you You do the little things before I ever ask And you make this heavy heart feel light at last [Verse 3] So here's to brand new mornings and the road ahead Here's to every word of thanks I never fully said I thank the Lord above for the day you came For your steady hand and the way you say my name [Chorus] Elizabeth, you're gentle but you're strong You'll set me straight, then hold me all night long If I have it, darlin', then it's yours too Without a question, I'd do anything for you [Outro] No more fences, darlin', just an open sky Elizabeth, it's you and me and him, side by side
