You’re the reason

I still remember that summer night,

The way you smiled in the dashboard light,

You took my hand, didn’t say a word,

But somehow my whole world turned.

I was a man just driftin’ through,

Then every road led me to you,

And in your eyes I found my home,

A place I knew I’d never be alone.

(Chorus)

You’re the reason I believe in love,

My answered prayer sent from above,

Through every storm, you’re standin’ strong,

The heart in every one of my songs.

If I had one life to live again,

I’d find you every time, my friend,

Girl, I’m yours till my last breath,

I’ll love you through life and after death.

(Verse 2)

We’ve had our days, we’ve had our fights,

Tears on pillows, sleepless nights,

But through the hurt and through the pain,

Your love still calls me back again.

You see the man I try to be,

You hold the best parts of me,

And when I fall, you pull me through,

There ain’t a thing I wouldn’t do for you.

(Chorus)

You’re the reason I believe in love,

My answered prayer sent from above,

Through every storm, you’re standin’ strong,

The heart in every one of my songs.

If I had one life to live again,

I’d find you every time, my friend,

Girl, I’m yours till my last breath,

I’ll love you through life and after death.

(Bridge)

And when we’re old and gray someday,

On a porch where the grandkids play,

I’ll hold your hand like I do tonight,

Still see forever in your eyes.

(Final Chorus)

You’re my always, my right, my wrong,

My safe place when the world’s gone,

The best thing God ever gave to me,

Is the love in your heart I get to keep.

So here’s my promise, plain and true,

Every road leads back to you,

Girl, I’m yours till my last breath,

I’ll love you through life and after death.
