Thirty-four years on this winding road
Sharing the heavy and the easy load
We’ve seen the valleys and we’ve climbed the hills
Through all the ups and downs, I love you still
You’re more than the man who wears this ring
Mike, you’re my best friend through everything
ChorusYou’re the steady ground I always stand on
Patient and strong from the dusk till the dawn
With your hard-working hands and your loyal heart
You've been my anchor right from the start
Whenever I look at you, I know it's true
My mother in heaven must have sent me you
Verse 2You never waver when the hard times hit
You just roll up your sleeves and you don't ever quit
Every long day that you put in the grind
Shows me a devotion of the rarest kind
Through every season that we’ve had to weather
Your faithful soul just holds us together
ChorusYou’re the steady ground I always stand on
Patient and strong from the dusk till the dawn
With your hard-working hands and your loyal heart
You've been my anchor right from the start
Whenever I look at you, I know it's true
My mother in heaven must have sent me you
BridgeI look up at the stars in the quiet of the night
And whisper a thank you to the fading light
I'm so very grateful for the man that I see
She knew exactly what I'd need
Final ChorusYou’re the steady ground I always stand on
Patient and strong from the dusk till the dawn
With your hard-working hands and your loyal heart
You've been my anchor right from the start
After thirty-four years, I know it's true
My mother in heaven sent me you
Yeah, my mother in heaven sent me you
