Baby

I tried to stumble, tried to walk away

I tried to keep from falling in love those early days

But we grew up together, and built a stable ground

A foundation for our children, where love is always found

God really hit the nail when He put you in my path

You held me all together and walked right past the past

Oh, Baby, you're the hardest worker that I know

You'd give the shirt right off your back with nothing left to show

You're funny and you're stubborn, with a compassionate heart

You're walking right beside me, like you have right from the start

With a country song playing, driving home from the lake

I'm so glad I fell for you, the best choice I could make

We've shared the hardest sorrows a heavy soul can take

Losing both our fathers, feeling both our worlds shake

Not even a year apart, the shadows came around

But we held on to each other, and kept our feet on the ground

Through the valley of the grief, you were my guiding light

Emotionally smart enough to know just what was right

Oh, Baby, you're the hardest worker that I know

You'd give the shirt right off your back with nothing left to show

You're funny and you're stubborn, with a compassionate heart

You're walking right beside me, like you have right from the start

With a country song playing, driving home from the lake

I'm so glad I fell for you, the best choice I could make

We even stood together right at death's own door

In that quiet hospital room, I couldn't speak anymore

But you just sat there with me, and you held my hand tight

Promised me that everything was gonna be alright

You swore that we were leaving, you kept me safe from harm

And made sure I came home with you, walking arm in arm

Oh, Baby, you're the hardest worker that I know

You'd give the shirt right off your back with nothing left to show

You're funny and you're stubborn, with a compassionate heart

You're walking right beside me, like you have right from the start

God really hit the nail when He put you in my path

Arm in arm forever, through the sorrow and the laughs
