[Verse 1, spoken soft, low] You walk into a room And every head will turn I've watched it happen all these years And I still feel it burn Those brown eyes were the first thing That's all most people see But there's a force in you they'll never know The strongest one in any room [Pre-Chorus] I kept looking past the moment At the next thing I could prove Pride can make a man ignore The life he stands to lose [Chorus] Still waters run deep Below what people see You held the truth my pride once hid And gave it back to me I loved you first without knowing What a lifetime asks of two Now I know the whole of loving And I choose this life with you Still waters run deep [Verse 2] When the world got quiet enough What remained was you The joy in you, the kindness And you never let me hide I turned before I knew it At the sound of your voice You knew the fear beneath my pride I knew the love behind your eyes [Chorus] Still waters run deep Below what people see You held the truth my pride once hid And gave it back to me Still waters run deep [Bridge] I've watched the way you love The way you loved your mother and your father All the way home And I see you in our daughters One who dreams and one who dares I'm less without you, that's the truth The best of me is you And somehow with my faults You still chose to love me too [Final Chorus] Still waters run deep Below what people see You held the truth my pride once hid And gave it back to me I loved you first without knowing I love you now for all I know And all that depth I nearly lost Was the best of who you are Still waters run deep [spoken, soft, low] I love you, Babe [End] Lyrics © 2026 Paul Pfanner.
