The Apple of Your Eye

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a quiet in the mornings now A coffee cup, an empty chair The radio plays a song we knew And I swear I feel you there Through a mutual friend, two broken hearts Found a way to start again [Chorus] You were my rock, my steady ground The kind of love that don't come twice A father, husband, best of men You gave us all your light And though you're gone, you're never far I carry you inside my heart [Verse 2] Nine long years of miles between Letters, phone calls, dreams we'd share Then twelve more years before we wed Every step, you were there You took my Brittany as your own A three-year-old you called your girl [Chorus] You were my rock, my steady ground The kind of love that don't come twice A father, husband, best of men You gave us all your light And though you're gone, you're never far I carry you inside my heart [Bridge] Heather, hold on to every word Every laugh, every winter walk Nineteen Februarys, almost there Love like ours don't ever stop [Verse 3] Little Larson was the apple of your eye And Lacey misses you each day We talk about you all the time In the songs, the prayers we say Heather, you were loved so deep And Jim, that love don't ever sleep [Chorus] You were my rock, my steady ground The kind of love that don't come twice A father, husband, best of men You gave us all your light And though you're gone, you're never far I carry you inside my heart [Outro] Heather, breathe, he's still right here In every sunrise, every tear
