My Steady Ground

[Verse 1] I used to count the days in shades of grey Just walking through the motions, lost in yesterday Then you walked in, a quiet, sudden light And turned the heavy morning into easy night I never knew that coffee could taste so sweet Or how a simple hand-hold makes a life complete [Chorus] So here’s to us, and everything we are My steady ground, my wishing star I don’t need diamonds or a fancy masquerade Just your heartbeat is the best parade Happy Valentine’s, my love, my only one You’re the moon, the stars, the setting sun [Verse 2] We’ve built a little world inside these walls A safety net for when the darkness falls Through every argument and every silly joke You’re the only voice that ever really spoke To the part of me I kept locked away But you found the key and you chose to stay [Chorus] So here’s to us, and everything we are My steady ground, my wishing star I don’t need diamonds or a fancy masquerade Just your heartbeat is the best parade Happy Valentine’s, my love, my only one You’re the moon, the stars, the setting sun [Bridge] They say that magic fades as time goes by But they haven’t seen the sparkle in your eye It’s not about the rush, it’s the slow and steady burn It’s the lessons in love that we live and learn [Chorus] So here’s to us, and everything we are My steady ground, my wishing star I don’t need diamonds or a fancy masquerade Just your heartbeat is the best parade Happy Valentine’s, my love, my only one You’re the moon, the stars, the setting sun [Outro] Yeah, the setting sun My only one Just you and me.
