John

Late at night when the room is still

I watch you breathe, let the quiet fill

You’ve got a patience that calms my soul

A caring touch that makes me whole

When the daily grind gets a little too heavy

John, you’re the one who keeps us steady

I want you to know, I see who you are

The anchor of this family, our guiding star

You’re a strong and loving man, through and through

There is no us, baby, without you

You carry the weight with a gentle hand

John, you’re a strong and loving man

I close my eyes and I go back in time

To the hospital room when our stars aligned

The day our son was born, I saw you cry

You held him close with a love so high

Then you packed up our lives, turned the key in the door

Moved us into this home and gave us so much more

I want you to know, I see who you are

The anchor of this family, our guiding star

You’re a strong and loving man, through and through

There is no us, baby, without you

You carry the weight with a gentle hand

John, you’re a strong and loving man

Some people talk, but you show it each day

In your patient, sweet, and caring way

You build us up when the world breaks us down

The truest love that I've ever found

Yeah, you never rush, you just understand

I'm so lucky to hold your hand

I want you to know, I see who you are

The anchor of this family, our guiding star

You’re a strong and loving man, through and through

There is no us, baby, without you

You carry the weight with a gentle hand

John, you’re a strong and loving man
