Sky-Blue Eyes
There's a little pink backpack by the door
Coloring book and crayons lying on the floor
Doctor talked in words I couldn't take
She just drew hearts on a paper plate
She said, "Daddy, don't you cry"
With a brave little smile in her sky-blue eyes
Hospital room under midnight light
She counted the stars shinning bright
She said, "If Heaven's got a backyard swing"
"Daddy, when you come visit, will you push me"
I tried to be strong, but she saw through me
Said, "I'm not afraid, you don't have to be"
Sky-blue eyes, never feared goodbye
Held my hand while I broke inside
She had a faith I couldn't find
In a world that just ain't kind
Yeah, she walked through fire with a heart so wide
My little girl---wasn't afraid to die
Last few days felt like stolen time
Every breath was a fragile line
She said, "Promise me you'll laugh again"
Like she knew how this would end
I kissed her head, said, "I'll be okay"
But she was the one showing me the way
Sky-blue eyes, never feared goodbye
Held my hand while I broke inside
She had a faith I couldn't find
In a world that just ain't kind
Yeah, she walked through fire with a heart so wide
My little girl---wasn't afraid to die
Now I see her in the summer sky
In every sunset's golden lights
I hear her voice in the quiet nights
Saying, "Love don't end with goodbye"
Sky-blue eyes still guide my life
Through he darkest days and longest nights
She gave me a faith I couldn't find
Taught me to live in a world that just ain't kind
Yeah, she walked through fire with a heart so wide
My little girl---shower me how to live this life
I thought I was there to make her strong
Turns out she'd been teaching me all along

Wow, that's a tear jerker!
Love the opening, in 2 lines you know where we are heading. By the end of the verse we are in love with her.
"Sky-blue eyes, never feared goodbye" love the sound of that.
Like how the bridge uses the same rhyme on all four lines.
A very minor thing, you might consider: Said, "I'm not afraid, so you don't have to be" (you probably already considered it!)
Lovely song. Great job on this.

Thank You Owen
That was such a nice comment.
I don't know that I did or didn't consider putting the (SO) in that line.
I know it would be proper English but I was trying to make it sound like something a child would say.
Thanks Again.
