The clock keeps ticking but time stands still when you smile We’ve been running this marathon mile after mile Sometimes we fell, sometimes we flew high above But every single scar just cemented our love Now I look at our daughter, she’s got your beautiful eyes And I realize I’m the richest man under these skies The world is a storm, blurring the lines of what's safe But I’ll be your fortress, your sacred, unbreakable space I swear I couldn't breathe a single day if you walked out that door Your smile, the way you look at me – I couldn't ask for more. You are my anchor, I am your sky We don’t need the world, just you, the little one, and I. Through the good months and the years that felt like a test We stood our ground when the wind blew hard from the west Now we’ve got a daughter growing fast and tall And I promise you, babe, I won't let either of you fall Life is a hurricane, twisting what's wrong and what's right But I will be your sanity, your peace in the night So hold me closer when the ground begins to shake I need to know you’re the promise that will never break Give me that safety, that tender shelter in your arms And keep us steady whenever the chaos starts Look at them running after things that aren't real Trading their lives for a cheap, synthetic feel But not me, I know exactly what we hold I want your hands, your heart, to be loved. I am your diamond, natural and true I only want to shine for her and for you. You are my anchor, I am your sky We don’t need the world, just you, the little one, and I. Through the good months and the years that felt like a test We stood our ground when the wind blew hard from the west Now we’ve got a daughter growing fast and tall And I promise you, babe, I won't let either of you fall Life is a hurricane, twisting what's wrong and what's right But I will be your sanity, your peace in the night I love the flash in your eyes, the way your laughter rings out A world without you beside me is a world full of doubt.
