Verse 1
I have watched the sunrise a thousand different ways,
But nothing burns as softly as your smile across their face.
The way you kneel to hear them, like the world can always wait,
Makes every broken chapter somehow worth the years it took to make.
I catch my breath without a sound,
A lump inside my throat.
Because I never thought that gentleness
Could wear a man like clothes.
Pre-Chorus
After all the storms I’ve walked through,
After learning love could bruise,
You showed me hands were made for holding,
Not for leaving someone blue.
Chorus
You walked into the life we’d already made,
And somehow turned these walls into a place…
I dreamed of building everything from new,
But home was waiting here the day I found you.
When you’re laughing with my children, time stands still,
Every broken part inside me starts to heal.
My restless mind grows quiet, my heart finally knows what’s true—
I never knew a love this gentle…
Until I found you.
Verse 2
There’s a peace that follows after you,
Like pine trees after rain.
Somehow all the scattered parts of me
Forget they knew my pain.
The world still spins in circles,
Life still pulls me every way,
But somewhere in your arms
The chaos finally loses weight.
I find myself just watching,
Not because you’ve said a word,
But because kindness has a language
That’s louder than I’ve ever heard.
Bridge
Maybe love was never meant
To erase what came before.
Maybe it’s a lantern burning
Through an old familiar storm.
Maybe family isn’t always born—
Sometimes it’s carefully grown.
One bedtime story, one little hand,
One heart deciding, “I’m home.”
And every time they run to you,
Something inside me heals.
Years of fear unravel quietly
Without a single word to speak.
Final Chorus
You didn’t save me with promises;
You saved me being you.
With patient eyes and open arms,
With every little thing you do.
I thought I’d missed the chance to build
The life I’d always dreamed,
But love has funny ways of finding
Places hope still breathes.
So if you ever wonder
Why I sometimes stop and stare,
It’s because my heart is overflowing,
And I don’t know how to get it there.
I don’t think this world could hold
Another soul so true.
If kindness ever learned to walk,
I’m certain it became you.
Outro
So stay beside this little life
We’ve stumbled into slow.
Because somehow what already existed
Has become the greatest love I’ve ever known.
And every single day I wake,
I fall a little more—
Not because you changed my world…
But because you walked into it gently…
And somehow…
It finally feels like home.
