You always save a seat for me at night Lay out my coat when the rain's just right Your hands are busy, always fixing things But you still call me in for evening tea You check the locks and make sure I'm alright Stay on the phone if I'm home too late at night You fold the towels and help me close the door And find the time to listen when I'm unsure You say: Why do we keep holding tight? I say: 'Cause we know we'll be alright Through the noise, and days that bend All the quiet ways we help again We still hold each other up when we fall You still cheer loud even when I stall We still share the load and plan And I'd never trade the life we have Still the same, still near Still finding hope in every year We still hold each other up when we fall You drive across the town to lend a hand Still send me food before I even plan We say thank you in a thousand ways And circle back to brighter days (uh) You keep a photo tucked inside your phone That little smile reminds me I'm not alone We give our time, we give our best No matter what, we pass the test You say: How do we keep giving more? I say: That's just what a family's for Through every turn, through every trial It's always worth each extra mile We still hold each other up when we fall You still cheer loud even when I stall We still share the load and plan And I'd never trade the life we have Still the same, still near Still finding hope in every year We still hold each other up when we fall And maybe we'll grow busy, drift apart But home will always be inside our hearts We still hold each other up when we fall You still cheer loud even when I stall We still share the load and plan And I'd never trade the life we have Still the same, still near Still finding hope in every year We still hold each other up when we fall
