Dancing Between Heartbeats

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two soldiers finding their way Through the noise and the gray He said all he ever dreamed about Was being happy, being a dad someday Almost gave up on the search Then fate put us on the same earth [Chorus] Christopher, you saved my heart Danced with me in parking lots No music playing, didn't need a thing Just your hand and an emerald ring You asked me a thousand times And every single time I said yes to this life [Verse 2] Miles and miles couldn't keep you away Illinois to here, you'd find a way Counting MREs on a video call While I made Z breakfast down the hall At every airport goodbye you'd say Before you know it, I'll see your face [Chorus] Christopher, you saved my heart Danced with me in parking lots No music playing, didn't need a thing your hand and an emerald ring You asked me a thousand times And every single time I said yes to this life [Bridge] Now she's got your eyes, your smile too That little girl is the image of you That little girl is the image of you The dream you held since you were young Christopher, look what we've become [Verse 3] Your first Father's Day is finally here Two daughters calling you Dad, so clear The boy who just wanted to be happy Found his family, found his peace From that soldier with a tender heart To the father you were born to be from the start [Chorus] Christopher, you saved my heart Danced with me in parking lots No music playing, didn't need a thing Just your hand and an emerald ring You asked me a thousand times And every single time I said yes to this life [Outro] Happy Father's Day to the one Who made all our new beginnings come Face to face, just like you said Our forever's only just ahead
