[Verse 1]
Nine years in, still my home
April, you make hard days go
Brown eyes catching all my fear
Salt and pepper, you still shine here
You walk through chaos like it owes you respect
Strong as steel, stubborn as you get
[Pre-Chorus]
When the house is loud
You steady the floor
Four little hands
And you give us more
You carry the weight
Like it’s nothing at all
Then you smile at me
And I forget to fall
[Chorus]
April, April, hold me close
You’re the heart this family knows
April, April, stay right here
You make forever feel near
(Stay right here)
(Stay right here)
[Verse 2]
Lanah laughing down the hall
Konnor with his soccer ball
Willow paints the world in blue
All of it came home with you
From the night shifts to the morning sun
You keep loving everyone
I watch you heal the tired and pain
Then come back and do it again
[Pre-Chorus]
When your shoulders ache
You never complain
You kiss our kids
And ease the strain
You say “we’ll be fine”
With that same steel line
And I fall in love
Every single time
[Chorus]
April, April, hold me close
You’re the heart this family knows
April, April, stay right here
You make forever feel near
(Stay right here)
(Stay right here)
[Bridge]
If the world gets rough
You do not bend
You’re my beginning
You’re my best friend
Brown-eyed fire
Soft but true
Nine years deep
I still choose you
[Chorus]
April, April, hold me close
You’re the heart this family knows
April, April, stay right here
You make forever feel near
April, April, my sweet home
With you I’m never on my own
April, April, all I need
You and me and Lanah, Konnor, Willow breathe
(Stay right here)
(Stay right here)
