Because Of Her

I watch the morning touch the floor

She's the quiet at my door

She leaves her keys upon the stand

A map of places never planned

She takes the car and drives the bend

And makes the broken highway mend

I never ask which way she goes

She is the only wind that blows

And when the shadows crowd the room

And tell me

winter's coming soon

I look to where she used to stand

She's why the summer comes around She's

why my feet can touch the ground

She's why the stars begin to shine

And why I'm glad this life is mine

She's why the sun begins to rise

I see my future in her eyes

The kitchen holds her coffee cup

The morning sun is catching up

She laughs at things I never say

And turns the grayest sky to day

There is no map that we must trace

She's why the summer comes around She's why my feet can touch

the ground

She's why the stars begin to shine

And why I'm glad this life is mine

She's why the sun begins to rise

I see my future in her eyes

It's not the words she speaks aloud

Or how she stands within a crowd

It's just the way she turns to see

The better man inside of me

She's why the summer comes around She's why my feet can touch

the ground

She's why the stars begin to shine

And why I'm glad this life is mine She's why I'm coming

home She's why
