Armand

[Verse 1]
Some days the world spins way too fast
You wonder if the good can last
But I go back to that first day
New job, brown trucks, you passed my way
You and a friend just walking by
I knew right then you'd be mine

[Chorus]
You smile with your eyes and I'm home again
My shelter, my healer, my lover, my friend
When the storm rolls in, you're my steady ground
Twenty-one years, you still hold me down
Baby, you're my everything

[Verse 2]
They didn't want to see us stand
A Black man holding a white girl's hand
We never needed their okay
Our love grew stronger anyway
A mile from home, our friends all around
Armand, you knelt on that hillside ground

[Chorus]
You smile with your eyes and I'm home again
My shelter, my healer, my lover, my friend
When the storm rolls in, you're my steady ground
Twenty-one years, you still hold me down
Baby, you're my everything

[Bridge]
I told you there'd be no child
You just held me close and smiled
You never judged a single scar
You love folks for who they are

[Verse 3]
When I got hurt and couldn't stand
You held us down with steady hands
You gave me time to chase my dream
Now I'm scrubbed in on the surgical team
You built a home so our four legged son
Could finally stay where he belongs

[Chorus]
You smile with your eyes and you dance through the day
You listen with love to what I can't say
Armand, let me be your rock, your ground
Twenty-one years, I'll still hold you down
Baby, you're my everything

[Outro]
Keep dancing, baby, just because
Twenty-one years of this love
You're my everything
