The Keeper of My Heart

I wrote this for my wife on our 26th wedding anniversary. It was adapted from a poem I wrote here over ten years ago. Lyrics: Ryan K Hall Arrangement: Ryan K Hall Music/Voice: AI Copyrighted - All Rights Reserved The Keeper of My Heart (Lyrics) Verse 1 What words could I ever speak What song could I ever sing What picture could I ever paint to express all the joy you bring My love, there’s no way to capture All that you are to me You’re more than I imagined You’re everything I need Chorus You’re the sunset in my evening You’re the sunrise in my day You’re the quiet in the nighttime When the world just fades away Through every change, through every part You’ve been there from the start You will always be The keeper of my heart Verse 2 There’s a peace in every moment When I know you’re by my side Like a calm that comes so gently Like the turning of the tide You’re the friend I’ve always needed The one I know is true The one I trust with all I am I’ve found forever in you Chorus You’re the sunset in my evening You’re the sunrise in my day You’re the quiet in the nighttime When the world just fades away Through every change, through every part You’ve been there from the start You will always be The keeper of my heart Bridge Time will take us places Time will bring us tears Time will write our story Through the passing years But time could never take away The love that we have known In every step, in every breath you’ve gave my heart a home. Verse 3 Can a life be everlasting Forever cherishing what we’ve made? In the children and the memories That will never truly fade In every dream we’ve carried In all we’ve given life I see forever shining In my best friend and my wife Final Chorus You’re the sunset in my evening You’re the sunrise in my day You’re the quiet in the nighttime Still you lead me on my way Through every change, through every part You’ve been there from the start Forever you will be The keeper of my heart Outro A lifetime here beside you Is all I’ll ever need My heart is yours forever In love, in word, in deed
