Wings That Flew Them Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] There's a song the highway sings tonight Underneath a sky of fading light Some folks live with courage, some with grace She wears both upon her smiling face Forty years of love, forty years of skies You can read the stories in her eyes [Chorus] Here's to Sawdee, here's to you To the heart that carried us all through To the wings that flew the wounded home To the strength you've always known Raise a glass, let the fiddles play Happy birthday, love, this is your day [Verse 2] She and Nino dancing slow and sweet Forty years of footsteps, still in beat Paige and Austin grown, the table full But there's a chair that love still calls to pull For a soldier son she'll always hold In the quiet places of her soul [Chorus] Here's to Sawdee, here's to you To the heart that carried us all through To the wings that flew the wounded home To the strength you've always known Raise a glass, let the fiddles play Happy birthday, love, this is your day [Bridge] Gold Star mama, Chief in the sky She turned her tears into a guiding light Lifting others up from where they fell A PATH for every soul to tell [Verse 3] From the ballpark lights to medic wings She's the kind of hero this world sings And Nino, baby, lucky as can be Forty years of you and Sawdee So blow the candles, make a wish come true Every joy this life owes back to you [Chorus] Here's to Sawdee, here's to you To the heart that carried us all through To the wings that flew the wounded home To the strength you've always known Raise a glass, let the fiddles play Happy birthday, love, this is your day [Outro] Happy birthday, Sawdee, shine on bright You're the song we're singing tonight
