(Tempo: Mid-tempo, acoustic guitar-driven with a warm fiddle melody)
(Verse 1)
She’s the first one in the kitchen when the coffee starts to perk
And the last one to take off her boots after a hard day’s work
It’s in the way she mends a sleeve or listens to your day
She don’t need a neon sign to give her love away
It’s a quiet kind of fire, steady and it’s true
The kind that keeps you warm when the winter’s cutting through.
(Chorus)
She’s got a heart like a valley, wide and deep
And promises she’s made are the ones she’s gonna keep
She don’t know how to halfway care or love you with a wall
When she puts her spirit in it, she’s gonna give it all
Like an oak tree in a storm, or a prayer that’s never-ending
She’s the beauty in the breaking and the power in the mending.
(Verse 2)
She remembers every birthday and the way you take your tea
She’s the anchor in the water when you’re drifting out to sea
She’ll carry half your burden just to see you stand up straight
And never check the clock no matter how the hour’s getting late
To her, a person’s soul is a garden she should tend
She’s a daughter and a lover, but she’s mostly just a friend.
(Chorus)
She’s got a heart like a valley, wide and deep
And promises she’s made are the ones she’s gonna keep
She don’t know how to halfway care or love you with a wall
When she puts her spirit in it, she’s gonna give it all
Like an oak tree in a storm, or a prayer that’s never-ending
She’s the beauty in the breaking and the power in the mending.
(Bridge)
Some people call it heavy, some people call it rare
But she can’t help the way she breathes the weight of every care
She’s got a million reasons to finally turn and run
But she stays until the healing’s finally, truly done.
(Guitar Solo - Warm and Melodic)
(Outro)
Yeah, she’s the power in the mending...
She loves deep, she loves long.
In a world that’s moving fast, she’s the one who’s staying strong.
Just staying strong.
(Fade out with soft acoustic strumming)
