She wakes before the morning light
Coffee warm, the world feels right
Hands that healed a thousand days
Still find time in quiet ways
Forty-one years she wore that name
A nurse with heart, not just the same
She held the hurt, she calmed the fear
And somehow kept her family near
Pre-Chorus
Three little girls, her whole wide world
She gave them roots, she gave them pearls
Of wisdom soft, and strength so true
A life built strong in all she’d do
Chorus
She’s the glue that holds us together
Through every storm, through every weather
A steady light, a guiding hand
The heart and soul of where we stand
From scraped up knees to grown-up dreams
She’s stitched our lives in golden seams
And if love had a name, we all would choose
Her sweet heart—the glue that holds
Verse 2
Fifty-one years, still side by side
With Gary there, her steady guide
A love that’s weathered time and grace
Still shines in every glance they share
Seven grandkids at her feet
Laughing loud, or fast asleep
Every hug a safe embrace
Every smile a sacred place
Pre-Chorus
She tells the stories, knows them all
Catches us when we might fall
And even now, we still can see
She is home, wherever we’ll be
Chorus
She’s the glue that holds us together
Through every storm, through every weather
A steady light, a guiding hand
The heart and soul of where we stand
From scraped up knees to grown-up dreams
She’s stitched our lives in golden seams
And if love had a name, we all would choose
Her sweet heart—the glue that holds
Bridge
Time moves on, but she remains
In every laugh, in all our names
A legacy you can’t replace
Written in love we can’t erase
Final Chorus
She’s the glue that holds us together
Now and always, forever and ever
A quiet strength, a gentle flame
Every one of us bears her name
And when we gather, it’s because
Of all the love she gave to us
If heaven’s love could walk in shoes
It would look like her… the glue
Outro (soft)
Yeah, it would look like her…
The glue that holds us
