Beyond the Bleachers

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Summer dust was hanging in the air Sunlight on a diamond, chalk lines everywhere I was just a coach out on that field Then she caught my eye beyond the bleachers' steel Something in her smile I couldn't shake A feeling I wasn't ready for but couldn't let escape [Chorus] Here's to the fearless, the strong and the true Here's to the one who made everything new When the world gets heavy, you carry it through And I swear every morning I fall more for you [Verse 2] I was coaching Joe through every swing Never thought his mama'd be my everything Didn't think a woman like that would look my way But you showed up and turned my ordinary days Into something I'd been scared to find Brook, you walked right in and taught this heart to shine [Chorus] Here's to the fearless, the strong and the true Here's to the one who made everything new When the world gets heavy, you carry it through And I swear every morning I fall more for you [Bridge] Ten years gone like a summer breeze A house, a ring, and a life I never dreamed You showed me how to love again Brook, with you is where my world begins [Verse 3] There's nothing in this world you cannot do Determined and relentless, that's the fire in you Independent, standing on your own two feet But letting me stand with you makes my life complete Whatever comes, whatever's down the road Brook, you'll never have to carry it alone [Chorus] Here's to the fearless, the strong and the true Here's to the one who made everything new When the world gets heavy, you carry it through And I swear every morning I fall more for you [Outro] So here's to us, to where we've been Love you mosterest, now and to the end
