Way Over Yonder, Sweet Milly

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a porch light still burning soft and low On a ranch where the California breezes blow Where the peacocks called the morning home And the four o'clock seeds were ours to sow She taught me how to breathe again When I didn't know which way to go [Chorus] Say hello way over yonder To the angels and the cowboys too We've got it from here, you left us good tools And a love that'll carry us through Oh, a weaver of a beautiful legacy Her threads run deep and true [Verse 2] Chocolate chip pancakes in the morning sun Little sips of coffee, oh the kids would run Tree swings swaying, toy box wide Peanut butter waiting on the kitchen side Tiny painted footprints across the floor A memory she kept and held with pride [Chorus] Say hello way over yonder To the angels and the cowboys too We've got it from here, you left us good tools And a love that'll carry us through Oh, a weaver of a beautiful legacy Her threads run deep and true [Bridge] From a little girl in Bruneau, Idaho She gave it a go, and oh how she'd glow Sweet Milly, the fruit of your tree is sweet Faith in every word, grace in every beat [Verse 3] We'll keep telling stories 'round the fire at night How you taught us all to love and hold on tight Your books, your poems, your gentle hand Like wildflowers blooming across the land Thank you, Milly, for gracing this world We'll give it a go, just like you planned [Chorus] Say hello way over yonder To the angels and the cowboys too We've got it from here, you left us good tools And a love that'll carry us through Oh, a weaver of a beautiful legacy Her threads run deep and true [Outro] We're gonna miss you, sweet Milly girl Give it a go in a brand new world
