August In Her Eyes

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a photograph beside the door A little girl, barely three or four With her daddy's eyes and his stubborn grin A whole wide world just waiting to begin Some goodbyes come way too soon October stole him from the room [Chorus] But he's watching from the other side Every stumble, every stride He's the wind beneath your cap and gown The proudest heart in any crowd And though his arms can't hold you near Tessa, he is always here [Verse 2] You grew up carrying his flame That crooked smile, it looks the same Every good and golden thing in him Found its way beneath your skin You walked the halls, you did the work Through every ache, through every hurt [Chorus] He's watching from the other side Every stumble, every stride He's the wind beneath your cap and gown The proudest heart in any crowd And though his arms can't hold you near Tessa, he is always here [Bridge] Ryan gave this world a gift The day he held you close And everything he dreamed you'd be You've become the most [Verse 3] So when they call your name today And you step into the light Know you're not just walking for yourself You're walking for his pride Tessa, you're the legacy Of a love that never dies His little girl, all grown and strong With August in her eyes [Chorus] He's watching from the other side Every stumble, every stride He's the wind beneath your cap and gown The proudest heart in any crowd And though his arms can't hold you near Tessa, he is always here [Outro] So throw that tassel to the sky His girl is shining bright tonight
