Lyrics
She's rocking slow on the old front porch,
Sweet tea resting by her chair,
Children laughing through the summer breeze,
Without a single care.
They only see their Grandma smile,
Soft as evening skies,
But there's another world still living...
Looking into her eyes.
If you could look into her eyes,
Beyond the silver hair,
You'd find a barefoot country girl
Still running everywhere.
Climbing higher than the tallest oak,
Swimming where the river lies,
Yesterday is still alive...
Looking into her eyes.
She washed the clothes in a zinc wash tub,
Scrubbed them on a weathered board,
Hung them underneath the morning sun,
Never asking for reward.
When Grandpa served in uniform,
She fixed what she could find,
Keeping every little piece of home
Together one more time.
If you could look into her eyes,
Beyond the silver hair,
You'd find a woman strong enough
To carry every care.
Hands that built and hands that healed,
A heart both true and wise,
A lifetime still shines quietly...
Looking into her eyes.
Neighbors came with broken hearts,
Questions they couldn't hide,
Some needed hope, some needed bread,
Some just someone by their side.
She never asked for praise at all,
Or medals she could claim,
She simply gave what she had left,
And love became her name.
One day those children gathered there
May rock that porch the same,
Wondering where the years all went,
And how the seasons changed.
Maybe then they'll understand
What time can never disguise...
If you could look into her eyes,
You'd see the fields in bloom,
The lamb beside the meadow fence,
The laughter filling June.
Every joy and every tear,
Every sunset, every sunrise,
An entire life still shining bright...
Looking into her eyes.
