Lyrics
Verse 1
I was working double shifts down at the lumber yardComing home exhausted, letting down my guardLeft my boots at the door, left my mind on the lineMissed the tear in your eye, missed the warning signYou were sitting at the table with your packed-up bagHolding onto hope that was hanging by a ragI looked in your face and the world stopped coldRealized what I was trading for a pocket full of gold
Chorus
Now I'm gonna hold you like the sunset holds the skyTell you that I love you 'til the well runs dryI ain't gonna let another day go byWithout you knowing you're my reason whyI almost missed the turn, almost broke the bendI won't ever take your heart for granted again
Verse 2
I pulled you to my chest right there on the kitchen tileWhispered that I'm sorry, hadn't seen you smile in a whileThrew my keys on the counter, put my phone awayPromised you right then I was here to stayIt took a cold hard second just to see the lightHow close I came to sleeping in an empty house tonight
Chorus
Now I'm gonna hold you like the sunset holds the skyTell you that I love you 'til the well runs dryI ain't gonna let another day go byWithout you knowing you're my reason whyI almost missed the turn, almost broke the bendI won't ever take your heart for granted again
Bridge
It’s easy to get lost in the noise and the rustForgetting what you build on a foundation of trustSo every single morning when I wake up by your sideI’m gonna put your hand in mine with a little bit of pride
Chorus
Now I'm gonna hold you like the sunset holds the skyTell you that I love you 'til the well runs dryI ain't gonna let another day go byWithout you knowing you're my reason whyI almost missed the turn, almost broke the bendI won't ever take your heart for granted again
Outro
No, I won't take your heart for granted againEvery single day, babyJust in timeJust in time
