Darlene

[Verse 1]
Morning light on the kitchen floor
Coffee warm like the years before
Some folks chase what the world can give
But I found the reason I live
In a girl with a nurse's heart
Who's been healing since the start

[Chorus]
Oh Darlene, when you hold me tight
Every wrong in the world feels right
One soft kiss and the storm goes still
I've been yours and I always will
This old heart is a home you made
In your arms I'm not afraid

[Verse 2]
Three strong boys and two sweet girls
You gave each one your whole wide world
Long night shifts in your nursing whites
Still you tucked them in at night
Patching knees and mending souls
Every broken heart made whole

[Chorus]
Oh Darlene, when you hold me tight
Every wrong in the world feels right
One soft kiss and the storm goes still
I've been yours and I always will
This old heart is a home you made
In your arms I'm not afraid

[Bridge]
Of all the blessings I've been shown
Of all the roads that I have known
The greatest honor of my life
Is the day you became my wife

[Verse 3]
Now the grandkids run through the door
Like there's no one they love more
You've got a lap and a bedtime tale
Love that never seems to fail
And when the house goes quiet, dear
You still pull me close right here

[Chorus]
Oh Darlene, when you hold me tight
Every wrong in the world feels right
One soft kiss and the storm goes still
I've been yours and I always will
Your hug still feels like coming home
With you I'm never alone

[Outro]
Just because, I wanted you to know
Darlene, I love you so
