Janice Hopkins/Mark D. Preston
We lived a long way out from big dreams
More love than money; little in-between
Days spent sweatin’, pullin’ on a plow
Nights pickin’ chords, Mama showed us how
On the guitar she played at a Ryman show
All the fame she’d ever known
She’d had her chance, chose us instead
Hoped to see it in the years ahead
Through My Eyes…..
She’d see what she was back then
Through My Eyes…..
The lights, the fans, remembers when
She felt the raw emotion sung straight from the heart
The crowd leaned closer, as her six-string played it’s part
Her dreams could all survive…Through My Eyes
A few years passed, I left that place
Hoping to carve out my own space
Paid my dues and found my way
Onto the hardwood of the Opry stage
With that guitar, I began the show
Her face in the very first row
Suddenly felt her by my side
In another place, another time
Through My Eyes……
I see what she was back then
Through My Eyes….
The lights, the fans… remembers when
She felt the raw emotion sung straight from the heart
The crowd leaned closer, as her six-string played it’s part
Her dreams come alive….Through My Eyes
Then I knew the depth of a mother’s love
It showed me what I was made of
Years have passed since she’s been gone
She’s still right here on every stage,…. in every song
Through My Eyes…..
She sees what she was back then
Through My Eyes…..
The lights, the fans….. remembers when
She felt the raw emotion, sung straight from the heart
The crowd leaned closer, as the six-string played it’s part
Her dreams survived….Through My Eyes
Tag:
My own dreams come alive…while hers survive…...Through My Eyes
