I still smile when I think about the way we started out
You always knew how to make me laugh and chase away the doubt
Chuck, you've got this gentle soul beneath a steady frame
And my whole world got brighter on the day I learned your name
ChorusYou're my hero, plain and simple, standing by my side
Through the shifting of the seasons and the turning of the tide
I can still hear the quiet way you caught me by surprise
With that first "I love you" shining in your eyes
Verse 2Some men try to act so tough, they build a heavy wall
But you just wrap your arms around me anytime I fall
You're sweet and you're tender in the little things you do
I never knew a safer place than when I'm holding you
ChorusYou're my hero, plain and simple, standing by my side
Through the shifting of the seasons and the turning of the tide
I can still hear the quiet way you caught me by surprise
With that first "I love you" shining in your eyes
BridgeYou don't need a cape or armor to be the one I need
It's in the way you care for me, in every word and deed
You're the laughter in my living room, the comfort in the night
With you, Chuck, I know everything is gonna be alright
Final Chorus'Cause you're my hero, plain and simple, standing by my side
Through the shifting of the seasons and the turning of the tide
I will always keep the memory that caught me by surprise
Of that first "I love you" shining in your eyes
Yeah, you'll always be the hero of my life
