Peace in Dark Brown Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Small town classroom, a quiet afternoon Two searching souls beneath the same pale moon I was seventeen, still learning how to stand You came to help your folks, and took my hand Somethin' about your calm, your steady grace I saw forever written on your face [Chorus] And I found peace in dark brown eyes A love that God Himself designed Through every storm, through every fight You held me close, you held me right Oh Bill, my faith, my hope, my home With you I'll never walk alone [Verse 2] Both of us were lost and needed saving You gave me arms when life was too much braving We fell into His mercy, side by side Forty-three years married, still my guide Dark hair, quiet strength, a gentle man Who carries all of us the best he can [Chorus] And I found peace in dark brown eyes A love that God Himself designed Through every storm, through every fight You held me close, you held me right Oh Bill, my faith, my hope, my home With you I'll never walk alone [Bridge] You forgive when I fall short You love with grace, a quiet sort God at the center, family near That's the man I've treasured here [Verse 3] Forty-six years since that first day And I'd choose you again a thousand ways Whatever comes, whatever we go through There's healing in the way you love me true So here's to us, and all the road ahead With every prayer and promise that we've said [Chorus] Still I find peace in dark brown eyes A love that God Himself designed Oh Bill, my faith, my hope, my own With you I'll never walk alone [Outro] My Bill, my heart, my steady flame Forever grateful for your name
