[Verse 1] Sarah, I still remember that old county line, Your coat on my shoulder, your fingers in mine. I came with a past I was scared you would see, You saw every rough edge and stayed close to me. When work wore me down and my temper ran high, You gave me the truth; you stood there, eye to eye. I never mistook your patience for weakness, You made me a better man just by your kindness. [Verse 2] We wore out the gravel on Saturday drives, Bought coffee at the place where the screen door still cries. You laughed when I missed that first cast in the stream, Then watched the sun lift like the start of a dream. We sang off-key with the windows rolled down, Found our way home by the water tower in town. I keep those small moments, the plain and the true, Like the chipped blue cup that still belongs to you. [Pre-Chorus] I know I have stumbled, I know I have failed, Some words left a mark, some apologies came late. But when I get lost in the weight of it all, Your name is the answer; your voice is my call. [Chorus] Sarah, you're the light in the kitchen at night, The steady hand that can set me right. When I come undone, you don't turn away, And I'll stand beside you on your hardest day. Through every wrong turn, through the years rolling by, I'll keep earning the trust I once asked you to try. With your hand in mine, whatever we go through, Sarah, I'm home when I'm standing with you. [Verse 3] You beat me at cards, then you let me complain, I claimed that the rules had been changed once again. We burned the cornbread and laughed at the smoke, You gave me that look while I told the same joke. Your boots by the doorway, my jacket on a chair, A list for the store and your hair everywhere. No grand shining gesture could mean half as much As the life we keep building in the everyday stuff. [Pre-Chorus] I've seen you stand tall when the whole world felt wrong, And I have been lucky to help you stay strong. You carried my worry; I carry yours too, I won't leave the hard parts for you to walk through. [Chorus] Sarah, you're the light in the kitchen at night, The steady hand that can set me right. When the whole world leans, I'll be at your side, No road gets too rough with you as my guide. Through every wrong turn, through the years rolling by, I'll keep earning the trust I once asked you to try. Beneath this wide country sky, whatever we go through, Sarah, I'm home when I'm standing with you. [Bridge] If tomorrow brings trouble, we'll meet it head-on, If the miles get longer, I'll keep moving on. I've made my mistakes; I won't dress them as fate, I'll show you with actions, not promises late. From the first young plans to the gray in our hair, I want every season with you standing there. [Final Chorus] Sarah, you're the light in the kitchen at night, The hand I reach for when I can't see right. I'll be your safe place when the long days are through, I'll listen, I'll learn, I'll keep choosing you. Through every wrong turn, through the years rolling by, I'll keep earning the trust I once asked you to try. With your hand in mine, whatever we go through, Sarah, I'm home when I'm standing with you. [Outro] So leave your boots by the door tonight, I'll keep that porch lamp burning warm and bright. No perfect story, no promise brand new, Just this man's whole heart, Sarah, given to you.
