The Sky in a Pilot's Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A cold spring night at George Sherwood's place, I caught a glimpse of your steady face. You wore the sky in a pilot's suit, And somehow I just knew, I knew. Two hearts that found their way back home, A quiet love we'd call our own. [Chorus] Hold on, my love, the dawn is near, Faith will carry us through this year. Through every storm, through every fight, God's gonna lead us towards a brighter light. Lean on me, I'll lean on you, That's what the strong ones always do. [Verse 2] I sold the houses, you flew the skies, You fought for our soil where freedom lies. We raised two girls with gentle hands, Now they need us where they stand. The pups beside the fireplace, Heaven's door, a softer grace. [Chorus] Hold on, my love, the dawn is near, Faith will carry us through this year. Through every storm, through every fight, God's gonna lead us towards a brighter light. Lean on me, I'll lean on you, That's what the strong ones always do. [Bridge] Oh Jeffrey, your strength has pulled us through, There's nothing this world I'd face without you. They say He won't give more than we can bear, But oh, my Jeffrey, I'm glad you're there. [Verse 3] 35 years and I'd choose it again, You by my side till the very end. Our daughters need us, our family's pain, Healing comes like a quiet rain. Hope is a candle we won't let die, A country prayer beneath the sky. [Chorus] Hold on, my love, the dawn is near, Faith will carry us through this year. Through every storm, through every fight, God's gonna lead us towards a brighter light. [Outro] Sweet Jeffrey, hold my hand tonight, We'll walk together toward the light.
