I thought my world had ended, I thought I'd die alone
Twenty years of walking on a cold and jagged stone
You were grieving for your wife, I was left out in the rain
But somehow we reconnected through the center of the pain
I didn't know how to go on, I was hurting for a while
Until your easy-going love finally made me smile
ChorusVince, you took the broken pieces and you put them back in place
You chased away the shadows, brought the light back to my face
You're loyal and protective, the sweetest man I know
You're my shelter from the weather when the bitter winds blow
I cherish every moment, wrapped up in your arms
You keep me safe and sound, far away from harm
Verse 2I love how smart you are, how we talk into the night
You work so hard to make sure that your family is alright
With your daughter and your granddaughter right there in your home
You make sure that the girls you love will never feel alone
You always tell us "yes," with a twinkle in your eye
A gentle, kind provider underneath the country sky
ChorusVince, you took the broken pieces and you put them back in place
You chased away the shadows, brought the light back to my face
You're loyal and protective, the sweetest man I know
You're my shelter from the weather when the bitter winds blow
I cherish every moment, wrapped up in your arms
You keep me safe and sound, far away from harm
BridgeAnd I can't forget our animals, the bond we deeply share
Especially that little Yorkie bouncing everywhere
Three years since you bought her from me, Baby is your pride
Riding with you to the job, right there by your side
And everybody knows it, it's a rule that you declare
If Baby cannot go with you, then you ain't going there
Final ChorusVince, you took the broken pieces and you put them back in place
You chased away the shadows, brought the light back to my face
You're loving and protective, the sweetest man I know
You're my shelter from the weather when the bitter winds blow
You healed a heart that hurt so long, you gave my life a start
I love you, Vince, forever, with every piece of my heart
