The porch light's on but the house is too still
I hate the distance when we're apart, Phil
You’ve got a wisdom that grounds my soul
And a sense of humor that makes me whole
Every time you have to leave, the time moves slow
I just want to make sure that you know
ChorusIt’s the gentle way you hold me in the dark
It’s the steady love you give right to my heart
You keep me safe, you're protective and true
I don't know what I'd ever do without you
When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray
You are the part of me that makes me happy
Verse 2I lean on you when the wind starts to blow
You're the safest shelter that I'll ever know
So very loving in all that you do
I found my better half when I found you
You wrap your arms around me, strong and tight
And suddenly the heavy world feels light
ChorusIt’s the gentle way you hold me in the dark
It’s the steady love you give right to my heart
You keep me safe, you're protective and true
I don't know what I'd ever do without you
When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray
You are the part of me that makes me happy
BridgeI miss you in the morning, I miss you in the night
Just waiting for the moment you pull me in tight
No matter the miles or the days we're apart
You're carrying the biggest piece of my heart
Final Chorus'Cause it’s the gentle way you hold me in the dark
It’s the steady love you give right to my heart
You keep me safe, you're protective and true
Oh Phil, I don't know what I'd ever do without you
When the world gets heavy and the skies are gray
You are the part of me that makes me happy
Yeah, you are the part of me that makes me happy
