Sail On

It's been two years come this Sunday Since he saw her laughing eyes A soldier on the front lines A young girl asking why But the chapel bells were ringing One bright December day And as they walked into the future A voice she thought did say Sail on Sail on Wake up to a new day Sing that morning song Sail on Sail on And don't give up on believing In a dream you thought was gone Sail on New life all around them Memories breaking dawn Two hearts safe and steady In a world that's traveling on Is it really shades of heaven Or a dream it's hard to say The new year brought a baby girl That the good Lord took away Sail on Sail on Wake up to a new day Sing that morning song Sail on Sail on And don't give up on believing In a dream you thought was gone Sail on Sometimes late at night an old wind's calling Pieces of the past blown round again Bits of hope and struggle That time has made a home And they wonder Just how the story ends Down a lonesome Texas highway Sits an old house by the road An old woman rocking slowly As a blue sky turns to gold On the mantle there's a picture Of a dream so long ago Young lovers smile and wonder What the future has to hold Sail on Sail on Some day you'll be together Sing that morning song Sail on Sail on And don't give up on believing In a dream you thought was gone Sail on
