Still That Sunday Morning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some love comes slow like a summer rain Some love shows up at a boarding gate You'd been to see your brother, bags packed to fly back home One look across that airport, babe, my heart was not my own [Chorus] Susana, you held the line Through every mile and every goodbye With Jesus in your heart and a light in your eyes You kept our home when I was gone Forty years and still going strong I'll love you like that Sunday morning, hon [Verse 2] Twenty-six years in a uniform I missed the nights our babies were born Five boys and two girls, you raised them all with grace You never once complained, you just wrote me every week Said we're fine, come home safe, then you kissed them in their sleep [Chorus] Susana, you held the line Through every mile and every goodbye With Jesus in your heart and a light in your eyes You kept our home when I was gone Forty years and still going strong I'll love you like that Sunday morning, hon [Bridge] I was never perfect, Lord knows I fell short But you stood by me, babe, through every storm Every medal on my chest, every ribbon that I wear Belongs to you, the one who kept me in her prayers [Verse 3] Now our youngest is eight, running through the yard When they lose their way, they still call on you You point them back to Jesus like you always do Forty years on, I still see you at that gate Susana, you were worth every mile and every wait [Chorus] Susana, you held the line Through every mile and every goodbye With Jesus in your heart and a light in your eyes You kept our home when I was gone Forty years and still going strong I'll love you like that Sunday morning, hon [Outro] Like that Sunday morning, standing by your side I'd say I do a thousand times
