Where the Floodwall Meets the Stars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Cicadas hum their evening tune The sky goes gold, then dusky blue Some moments stay when years go by Like that old porch and that wide sky We sat and watched the sun go down The day we said we'd stick around [Chorus] You were there when I couldn't see You were standing right beside me Through the storms and the long dry spells You loved me more than words can tell You're my faith when the night gets cold You're the hope I'm gonna hold [Verse 2] We'd walk the floodwall after dark Hot summer air, the stars like sparks Mandie, you'd smile and look my way I didn't have the words to say With your arms wrapped tight around me I stood as proud as a man could be [Chorus] You were there when I couldn't see You were standing right beside me Through the storms and the long dry spells You loved me more than words can tell You're my faith when the night gets cold You're the hope I'm gonna hold [Bridge] I don't know how I missed it then The best thing standing right there But you forgave, you let me in And your love answered every prayer [Verse 3] Now every sunset on that porch I thank the good Lord for His grace You gave me strength to carry on And put the light back in my face Mandie, I see it clear as day Right here with you is where I'll stay [Chorus] You were there when I couldn't see You were standing right beside me Through the storms and the long dry spells You loved me more than words can tell Now my eyes are open wide Gonna keep you by my side [Outro] The sun goes down, the stars come out Mandie, you're what my heart's about Keep your arms around me, girl You're my whole wide world
