Front Porch Thank You

[Verse 1]
You kept the good plates
For any day I came by
Cut my pancakes in little hearts
Like it was some grand surprise
You'd hum along, frying eggs
Bare feet on that cool linoleum floor
Took a lifetime of quiet patience
Just to love me a little more
[Chorus]
So here's my front porch thank you
For every small, unspoken thing
For the way you turned a Tuesday
Into something fit for a king
I'm sitting here, trying to listen
To each breath and each blue sky
Celebrating your sweet, simple life
By how I live mine
[Verse 2]
You'd tap that old wood table
Say, "Slow down when you chew"
Read the clouds out the window
Like a sermon written just for you
I rushed off, chasing something
You just smiled, sipped your sweet tea
Said, "Baby, all that you're running for
Is already here, if you let it be"
[Chorus]
So here's my front porch thank you
For every small, unspoken thing
For the way you turned a Tuesday
Into something fit for a king
I'm walking softer through this world now
Letting each moment shine
Celebrating your sweet, simple life
By how I live mine
[Bridge]
I fold the towels the way you did
Talk to the stars like an old friend
Count every blessing on my fingers
Then I start over again (mmm yeah)
[Chorus]
So here's my front porch thank you
For every scar and every scar cured
For the love that made me kinder
And a little more sure
I'm slowing down, staying present
Letting each goodbye be kind
Celebrating your sweet, simple life
By how I live mine
Yeah, I'm celebrating your sweet, simple life
By how I live mine
