Stars On Your Skin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some stories start where you'd least expect A base up north, two hearts that connect Young and fearless, working day and night Two jobs each but the weekends felt right Chasing bands and cracking Coors Light Thirteen people, a Justice of Peace February cold but the love was heat [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to every year Every storm you've weathered, every joy, every tear Heart of gold and hands that never quit David, you're the one who held it all together And you never once thought to sit [Verse 2] Bought that house and then the world grew wide A baby girl, your whole entire pride Cruises with the family, laughter on the sea Then the storm rolled in and shook our ground But you were strong when I couldn't be found You carried Ella, you carried me A year of dark and you were still the light David, you never lost the fight [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to every year Every storm you've weathered, every joy, every tear Heart of gold and hands that never quit David, you're the one who held it all together And you never once thought to sit [Bridge] Thirty-six years on Sagamore green The hardest worker anyone's seen Now the phone rings out on the back deck Vic and Jeff, Coors Light and respect Cranking music, remembering when Glory days alive again [Verse 3] Stars inked on your skin for the ones we've lost Kiona, Cracker, Kali, Nikita — worth every cost Luna and Zoe curled up at your feet Ella's getting married come September light And San Francisco calls, and the Florida heat A fishing line, a grandfather's dream Cool Dad forever, that's what you've always been Loyal, honest, dedicated through The world got better 'cause it's got you [Chorus] Here's to you, here's to every year Every storm you've weathered, every joy, every tear Heart of gold and hands that never quit David, you're the one who held it all together And you never once thought to sit [Outro] So happy birthday to my rock, my friend From Pease to forever, love without an end Coors Light raised high beneath the stars tonight David, you are my light
