Sawyer Brown - This Side of the Sky Lyrics

Mama, they tore down that house today
It stood a hundred years downtown on the corner of Main
They had to make room for a discount store
I guess the past ain't worth what it was before

I went by our old house, it could use repair
And what I'd give to see you standing there
But that would take more than a coat of paint
'Cause for everything it still is, there's so much it ain't

Yeah, now you know
What all's been going on

The sun comes up and it goes back down
This crazy world keeps spinning 'round
The crazy part gets crazier every day
At church, we sing your favorite hymns
The ones that keep me remembering
I'm gonna see you in the sweet by-and-by
And that's the news
From this side of the sky

I still take daddy's truck on those Sunday drives
But it's quite a peace now to get out to the countryside
Emmie's got two boys and one looks just like you
And she's got your fire and she'll give 'em quite a talking to

Not all change is bad and some we really need
But there's a lot of things that I'm glad you're not here to see
And everything you taught us came from just one book
And I know you had your doubts with me but it finally took

Yeah, that's the truth
Just between me and you

The sun comes up and it goes back down
This crazy world keeps spinning 'round
The crazy part gets crazier every day
At church, we sing your favorite hymns
The ones that keep me remembering
I'm gonna see you in the sweet by-and-by
And that's the news
From this side of the sky

I don't know if you can hear a single word I say to you
But I'll keep rambling on here, just in case you do
I'll keep going on and on and on

The sun comes up and it goes back down
This crazy world keeps spinning 'round
The crazy part gets crazier every day
At church, we sing your favorite hymns
The ones that keep me remembering
I'm gonna see you in the sweet by-and-by
And that's the news
From this side of the sky

Mama, just stay tuned
And I'll have more news
From this side of the sky
