[Verse 1] He came in slow with the county dust A little worn down, but he still had trust He said, “I’ve been learning what a good thing costs And I found your name where I thought I was lost” He keeps his promises beside the door Leaves his old excuses on the barroom floor When he looks at me, I know somehow He’s loving how he loves me now [Chorus] He loves me now, with both hands open No more half-truths, no words left broken He says my name like he knows the vow I never knew love could feel this honest now He loves me now, and I love the way He chooses me fresh at the close of every day No grand parade, no sacred vow Just him loving how he loves me now [Verse 2] He brings black coffee before the sun Checks the screen door latch when the day is done He knows the stories I don’t always tell And stays when the room gets hard to hold as well He doesn’t promise he’ll never change He just meets me steady through the joy and pain With every quiet, ordinary how He shows me what it means to love me now [Pre-Chorus] He used to run when the truth got near Now he says it plain, even when it scares him There’s a tenderness beneath that weathered brow And I’m falling for the man he’s becoming now [Chorus] He loves me now, with both hands open No more half-truths, no words left broken He says my name like he knows the vow I never knew love could feel this honest now He loves me now, and I love the way He chooses me fresh at the close of every day No grand parade, no sacred vow Just him loving how he loves me now [Bridge] If tomorrow puts a hard road under his boots I’ll be the porch light, he’ll be the truth He’s not the boy who let good love pass He’s here in the doorway, and he’s built to last [Final Chorus] He loves me now, with both hands open No more half-truths, no words left broken He says my name like he knows the vow I never knew love could feel this honest now He loves me now, and I love the way He turns his whole heart toward me every day No grand parade, no sacred vow Just him loving how he loves me now Yeah, him loving how he loves me now
