Lyrics
Verse 1
You leave your coffee by the windowSame blue mug from twenty years agoI know the little things you never sayThe way you turn the porch light on when I’m late
Pre‑Chorus
We’ve had our share of hard-earned milesStill find each other in the middle of the trial
Chorus
You’re the hand I reach for when the day runs longThe steady note beneath my every songIf the road gets rough, if the years turn coldI’ll be right here, growing oldWith you, with youThat’s the only promise I need to hold
Verse 2
We traded Sunday drives for doctor visitsAnd patched the fence when the north wind hit usYour laugh still breaks through a crowded roomLike summer finding its way back in June
Pre‑Chorus
We don’t need a perfect life to call it blessedJust your head on my shoulder and a little rest
Chorus
You’re the hand I reach for when the day runs longThe steady note beneath my every songIf the road gets rough, if the years turn coldI’ll be right here, growing oldWith you, with youThat’s the only promise I need to hold
Bridge
Let the young hearts chase what they can’t outrunWe’ve got these scars and the work we’ve doneWhen the last light fades across this townI’ll know exactly where I’m boundinstrumental
Final Chorus
You’re the hand I reach for when the day runs longThe steady note beneath my every songIf the road gets rough, if the years turn coldI’ll be right here, growing oldWith you, with youEvery tomorrow’s a story we’ll unfoldWith you, with youThat’s the only promise I need to hold
Outro
Same front porch, same faithful viewEvery road I’d take leads back to you
