A Father's First Spring

[Verse 1] The sweetest surrender of winter She put up her flag, it is waving The thunder of summer is rumbling in [Chorus 1] I haven't seen you in days And my, how that feeling has changed Oh, I have been home sick for you since we met I have been homesick for you [Verse 2] Now I've got to take to the sky And I'll tell you what that means for you and I If I die, it's for you [Chorus 2] I never lived until I lived in your light And my heart never beat like it does at the sight Of you baby blue, God blessed your life I do not live unless I live in your light [Verse 3] The realest thing I ever felt Was the blood on the floor And the love in your yell I was a child before the day I met Eleanor [Bridge] The kiss of the wind in the hills The clearness of morning, the late evening thrill Blurry and gray like the roar The wheels on the highway, above them I soar [Verse 4] When I'm in the sweet daughter's eyes My heart is now ruined for the rest of all time There's no part of it left to give [Chorus 2]
