The morning sun is breaking through the blinds
I trace the shadows falling by your side
I don't need a lot to make me smile
Just sitting here and watching you a while
There is a quiet beauty in your face
That fills this empty room with saving grace
ChorusCarol, you're the gentle in my days
The steady hand that guides me through the maze
A heart of gold, the greatest love I've known
As long as I'm with you, I'm right at home
You're the good that makes my life complete
My sweet Carol, you are all I need
Verse 2We've walked along this road through sun and rain
And you're the one who takes away the strain
You've got a way of making worries fade
Just resting in the shelter we have made
I thank the Lord for giving you to me
And showing me how good this life can be
ChorusCarol, you're the gentle in my days
The steady hand that guides me through the maze
A heart of gold, the greatest love I've known
As long as I'm with you, I'm right at home
You're the good that makes my life complete
My sweet Carol, you are all I need
BridgeI might not have the perfect words to say
But I will love you more with every day
My beautiful wife, my partner, and my friend
I'm standing right beside you to the end
Final ChorusOh, Carol, you're the gentle in my days
The steady hand that guides me through the maze
A heart of gold, the greatest love I've known
As long as I'm with you, I'm right at home
You're the genuine, the good that makes me whole
I love you, Carol, from my very soul
