You Were My Sign

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Clarksville nights and neon light, A soldier young, a world so wide, We started off as friends back then, Never dreamed how deep it'd been. Then orders came, said I'd be gone, You looked at me and said, "I'll hold on." [Chorus] And I asked the sky for a sign to show, A meteor fell and I finally know — Some love's meant to stay, some hearts don't roam, You've been my sign, my light, my home. Gloria, all these years you gave, Steady and strong, devoted and brave. [Verse 2] I bought a ring the very next day, In that old car, I found the words to say. Two combat tours, six years apart, You held the fort with a fearless heart. Three children raised while I was away, You never wavered, you always stayed. [Chorus] And I asked the sky for a sign to show, A meteor fell and I finally know — Some love's meant to stay, some hearts don't roam, You've been my sign, my light, my home. Gloria, all these years you gave, Steady and strong, devoted and brave. [Bridge] There's still that glitter in your eyes, The tilt of your face, that sly little smile. And when you catch me looking your way, The pain melts off and I'm okay. [Verse 3] I don't say it like I did back when, But I need you now, more than I did then. Through every ache, you carry me, Heart of gold, so tender and free. Twenty-six years and I still see The girl who once said she'd wait for me. [Chorus] So I thank the sky for the sign it showed, A meteor fell and now I know — Gloria, my love, my everything, The fire in your eyes still makes me sing. [Outro] So here's my heart, forever true, Every day I'm grateful for you.
