Joshua

Right across from Grandma's house, that's where the story starts

I never knew the man out front would come and heal my heart

I was walking through the shadows, going through a heavy time

You opened up your door to me and gave me peace of mind

You gave me a place to lay my head, a shelter from the blast

You took me in and kept me safe, with no questions asked

Oh, Joshua, my old school soul, my steady, solid rock

You loved me in my darkest days when all the doors were locked

You're patient and forgiving, the kindest man I see

I’ll always love you, Joshua, for how you first loved me

Yeah, you love me unconditionally, right from the very start

My tender, caring partner with a passionate heart

You didn't just make room for me, you took my family in

You loved my grown-up children like they were your own kin

And when the grandkids come around, they know their Papa cares

Even when you don't have much, you always have a share

You give them everything you can, with a funny, gentle smile

For the ones you love, you always go the extra mile

Oh, Joshua, my old school soul, my steady, solid rock

You loved me in my darkest days when all the doors were locked

You're patient and forgiving, the kindest man I see

I’ll always love you, Joshua, for how you first loved me

Yeah, you love me unconditionally, right from the very start

My tender, caring partner with a passionate heart

Friendly to a fault, so giving and so sweet

You sweep the heavy burdens right off my weary feet

I appreciate the father and the Papa that you are

You loved me through the darkness, and you became my star

Oh, Joshua, my old school soul, my steady, solid rock

You loved me in my darkest days when all the doors were locked

You're patient and forgiving, the kindest man I see

I’ll always love you, Joshua, for how you first loved me

Yeah, you love me unconditionally, right from the very start

My tender, caring partner with a passionate heart
