Steady Eyes Across the Room

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some people wait a lifetime for a sign Some people search but never seem to find But there you were across that library room With steady eyes that cut right through the quiet Bold enough to hold a stranger's gaze And brave enough to change my world that day [Chorus] You and me against the world Every flag of faith unfurled Through the tears and through the miles David, you still make me smile Hand in hand we built this life You and me against the world [Verse 2] Nine months was all we needed just to know We said "I do" and then we let it go Left everybody that we'd ever known Cried together that first Christmas on our own But something in those tears just made us strong Two kids from college learning where we belong [Chorus] You and me against the world Every flag of faith unfurled Through the tears and through the miles David, you still make me smile Hand in hand we built this life You and me against the world [Bridge] When the bottom fell beneath our feet We moved back home, started from concrete You built something no one else could own Hit the road and made the southeast know your name [Verse 3] From nothing you built trust in every town A man of love and wisdom, never backing down We worked it side by side through every door Til we had more than we'd ever dreamed was yours Three kids who grew up watching how it's done Now loving grown-up hearts, every single one We've seen the corners of this beautiful world But David, my favorite view is still right here [Chorus] You and me against the world Every flag of faith unfurled Through the tears and through the miles David, you still make me smile Hand in hand we built this life You and me against the world [Outro] Forever, you and me Against the world
