You walked through the door of my store that day
Just asking for a little change
But the second our eyes met across the room
I knew nothing would be the same
I saw a man who was honest and strong
And I knew right then where you belonged
ChorusJohn, you hold my heart and my soul
Right in the palm of your hand
You gave me my freedom, you made my life whole
A fiercely loyal, genuine man
Everything taken from me, you brought it all back
With a love I will never outgrow
I wouldn't know what to do without you
And I just wanted you to know
Verse 2You packed up your life, drove five hundred miles
For me and our unborn son
When my family put you through absolute hell
You didn't turn around and run
You were patient and loving, you weathered the storm
Through the shadows and tears, you kept us warm
All of these years, after all we've been through
The only one I want is you
ChorusJohn, you hold my heart and my soul
Right in the palm of your hand
You gave me my freedom, you made my life whole
A fiercely loyal, genuine man
Everything taken from me, you brought it all back
With a love I will never outgrow
I wouldn't know what to do without you
And I just wanted you to know
BridgeI see the real you that nobody sees
Hidden away from the crowd
And you see the same quiet places in me
Where the world isn't so loud
I'm grateful for you every day of my life
So proud to be standing here by your side
Final Chorus'Cause John, you hold my heart and my soul
Right in the palm of your hand
You gave me my freedom, you made my life whole
My hardworking, honest man
Everything taken from me, you brought it all back
More than my words can express
I'll spend my whole life just loving you, John
'Cause with you, I am perfectly blessed
