Blue Eyes Down the Hall

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Two broken marines in a hospital hall Quiet walls, no light at all Just crutches and a heart that barely beat Then footsteps echoed down that floor Like marching toward an open door And everything changed the day our eyes would meet [Chorus] Blue eyes that pulled me from the dark A love that lit the faintest spark Through every battle, every scar, every mile You gave this broken man a home You made sure I'd never walk alone Misty, you made it all worthwhile [Verse 2] I cracked a joke to hear your voice You turned around, I had no choice A young Marine who brought me to my knees You moved to Texas, miles away But I could not let you slip away I drove all night just for one chance to breathe [Chorus] Blue eyes that pulled me from the dark A love that lit the faintest spark Through every battle, every scar, every mile You gave this broken man a home You made sure I'd never walk alone Misty, you made it all worthwhile [Bridge] Three little lives you carried close Gave them the love that matters most Always strong, just like you've always been [Verse 3] You set the table, call us in You kiss each forehead, tuck them in You hold this family like a prayer each night And one sweet day you'll hold their own The love you planted will have grown Misty, you are our morning light [Chorus] Blue eyes that pulled me from the dark A love that lit the faintest spark Through every battle, every scar, every mile You gave this broken man a home You made sure I'd never walk alone Misty, you made it all worthwhile [Outro] Happy Mother's Day, my blue-eyed girl You are my whole world
