All the Way to Florida Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads are longer than we planned Full of storms we don't understand There were nights the numbers didn't add And fear crept in, it made us sad But somewhere in that steel-town rain A steady heart refused to break [Chorus] Oh Karen, you never blinked at all You held my hand through every fall With faith enough to light the dark And love enough to guide my heart You gave me courage, gave me hope You were the strength that kept us whole [Verse 2] From Pittsburgh's cold and iron skies Through Atlanta's dreams and long goodbyes You packed your faith and took my hand And trusted every single plan Where lesser hearts might turn away You stood beside me, come what may [Chorus] Oh Karen, you never blinked at all You held my hand through every fall With faith enough to light the dark And love enough to guide my heart You gave me courage, gave me hope You were the strength that kept us whole [Bridge] Now Florida sun is on our skin The life we prayed for lets us in This is the peace we chased so far And it's all sweeter 'cause of who you are [Verse 3] So happy birthday, my truest friend The one who stayed until the end We made it home, we made it through And every mile I owe to you Here's to the calm, here's to the shore And all the years we've got in store [Chorus] Oh Karen, you never blinked at all You held my hand through every fall With faith enough to light the dark And love enough to guide my heart You gave me courage, gave me hope You were the strength that kept us whole [Outro] So blow the candles, watch them glow You're everything I'll ever know Happy birthday, love of mine Forever yours, till end of time
