SKY BETWEEN US” A duet between me and my father --- [Verse 1 — FATHER] I wasn’t raised to speak my heart, I held my storms behind my eyes. But every time you reached for me, the thunder softened in my mind. I fixed the things I knew how to fix, hoping it’d help you stand alone— I didn’t say much, but baby girl, you were my safest place, my home. --- [Verse 2 — YOU] I learned your silence like a language, read your love between the lines. You taught me strength with calloused hands, you taught me truth without the lies. I didn’t always understand you, but I felt your heart in everything— in every tool you placed in mine, in every storm you helped me bring. --- [Pre‑Chorus — BOTH] We were two different kinds of weather, but somehow we still fit— you were the storm that shaped me, and I was the calm you never quit. --- [Chorus — BOTH] There was sky between us, but love beneath it. Words unspoken, but we both could feel it. You were the thunder, I was the rain— meeting in the middle where the heart explains. We didn’t need perfect, we needed true— and every storm I survived was a bridge back to you. --- [Verse 3 — FATHER] I saw the world try to break you, and I prayed it never would. I knew my time was running short, so I taught you everything I could. If I seemed hard, it wasn’t you— it was the battles I carried home. But you were the light I held onto, the one thing I never faced alone. --- [Verse 4 — YOU] I didn’t want to let you go, but I told you that you could. I wanted you to rest at last, even though it hurt me more than it should. Now every shift of wind I feel, I swear it’s you reminding me— that love doesn’t end with breathing, it just changes where it lives and speaks. --- [Bridge — BOTH] (FATHER) If I could say it clearly… (YOU) If I could hear it whole… (FATHER) I’d tell you you were my pride… (YOU) I’d tell you you saved my soul… (BOTH) And every storm that touched us only brought us closer still— love like ours is weatherproof, it bends but never breaks its will. --- [Final Chorus — BOTH] There was sky between us, but love beneath it. Words unspoken, but we both could feel it. You were the thunder, I was the rain— meeting in the middle where the heart explains. We didn’t need perfect, we needed true— and every storm I survived was a bridge back to you. --- [Outro — FATHER] Look up when you miss me— I’m right there in the blue. The sky between us isn’t distance… it’s the place I watch over you.
