Steady Hand, Florida Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] September skies, the ocean wide, A cruise ship rocking with the tide. Nineteen eighty-one, that first hello, A spark I knew I'd never let go. Two strangers dancing in the salt-sea air, And somewhere in that moment, love was there. [Chorus] You're my everything, my reason why, The steady hand beneath a Florida sky. Through all the years, still holding on, My whole heart beats for you, Rodney, my love, my dawn. [Verse 2] You flew to Detroit through December cold, Gave your notice, left it all for gold. Came back to me to build a home, A life together, never alone. You earned your badge, you answered every call, A hero running toward it all. [Chorus] You're my everything, my reason why, The steady hand beneath a Florida sky. Through all the years, still holding on, My whole heart beats for you, Rodney, my love, my dawn. [Bridge] A daughter first, our little light, A son who filled the world so bright. We made a family, strong and true, And every day I'd choose you. [Verse 3] A beautiful life, this road we've paved, Every quiet promise that we made. I can't imagine skies without your sun, You're the greatest gift, my only one. So here's my heart, no need to ask why— I love you, Rod, until the day I die. [Chorus] You're my everything, my reason why, The steady hand beneath a Florida sky. Through all the years, still holding on, My whole heart beats for you, my love, my dawn. [Outro] September brought you close to me, And here you'll always, always be.
