Heart Like the Midwestern Sky

Met her by the old pine tree at dusk, caught my eye,

Her smile was like a summer day, so warm and bright,

We'd talk for hours 'bout everything, just you and I,

In that small town where the stars shone every night.

She'd sing sweet lullabies by the riverside,

Her voice so pure, it made the willows weep and sway,

With every note and every word, I felt alive,

In her embrace, I'd find my weary heart's delay.

Oh, my heart like the Midwestern sky,

Clear and true when I'm with you by my side,

With you, my love, time just flies by,

In your arms, there's nothing left to hide.

Sunday mornings in that old church pew,

Her hand in mine, we’d bow our heads and pray,

For love and life and dreams to all come true,

With faith and hope, we’d face another day.

Summers spent on the back porch swing,

Listening to the crickets sing our song,

We'd dance under the moon, just everything,

In those moments, forever didn’t seem that long.

Oh, my heart like the Midwestern sky,

Clear and true when I'm with you by my side,

With you, my love, time just flies by,

In your arms, there's nothing left to hide.
