Ocean Eyes and Silver Hair

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back when the school bells rang so young, Two kids before our life had begun, I caught those eyes of ocean blue, And somewhere deep inside I knew— That halls we walked would lead us home, A love that we would call our own. [Chorus] Oh Eddie, you're my steady ground, The one I lean on when I'm broken down, Through every storm you held me near, My peace, my strength, year after year. My Ed Earl with the silver hair, There's no place like our love out there. [Verse 2] We built a life on faith and grace, A funny lovely farm, our place, Where kids ran wild through summer days, And grandkids grew in golden haze. Twenty years and still it's true— My heart still beats the same for you. [Chorus] Oh Eddie, you're my steady ground, The one I lean on when I'm broken down, Through every storm you held me near, My peace, my strength, year after year. My Ed Earl with the silver hair, There's no place like our love out there. [Bridge] When the world turned dark and cold, Your gentle hands still had a hold, You healed the wounds I couldn't name, And loved me all the very same. [Verse 3] So here's to all the roads we've crossed, The comfort found, the fears we've lost, Your ocean eyes still light my way, More precious with each passing day. Whatever comes, whatever's near, I'll walk it with you, Eddie dear. [Chorus] Oh Eddie, you're my steady ground, The one I lean on when I'm broken down, Through every storm you held me near, My peace, my strength, year after year. My Ed Earl with the silver hair, There's no place like our love out there. [Outro] From school day halls to this old farm, Forever safe within your arms.
