The Sweetest Sound I Know

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Met in the South where the pines grow tall, Air Force blue and a Southern drawl, September skies over Barksdale ground, That's where my whole world turned around. By Christmas time at my folks' front door, I knew that I couldn't ask for more. [Chorus] Through every mile and every sky, Through every hello and goodbye, You've been my home, my steady flame, The sweetest sound, my Allison's name. Stronger than storms, softer than rain, You're the reason I'd do it again. [Verse 2] July of '07, Texarkana vows, Orders came early, somehow we made it now. First little house when I came back home, You held the line when I was gone. Master's degree with a ring on your hand, Buildin' a life that we both had planned. [Chorus] Through every mile and every sky, Through every hello and goodbye, You've been my home, my steady flame, The sweetest sound, my Allison's name. Stronger than storms, softer than rain, You're the reason I'd do it again. [Bridge] You lost so much that spring in the rain, Then cradled new life through the joy and the pain, Thirty-two days by a tiny boy's bed, You're the bravest soul I've ever met. [Verse 3] Virginia nights and Montana snow, Maryland skies where our boys would grow, Twenty years done, I hung up the blue, And every step led me back to you. Allison, darlin', this life we've made, Is the finest song that I've ever played. [Chorus] Through every mile and every sky, Through every hello and goodbye, You've been my home, my steady flame, The sweetest sound, my Allison's name. Stronger than storms, softer than rain, You're the reason I'd do it again. [Outro] Just you and me and the boys we raised, A love that's lasted all our days.
