Drover's Prayer

Every night before sleeping my mind comes to rest
On the face in my memory of the one I love best
Pale blue eyes shining like an October sky
Cooler than ice cream on the Fourth of July

Vaya con Dios my favorite companion
Let love melt your heart like sunlight on snow
Awake to the sunrise of another day dawning
For always, in all ways, wherever you go

If wishes were horses all men would ride
Days into decades wishing you by my side
In my dreams you’re surrounded in God’s golden light
Every day of your journey and all through the night

Vaya con Dios my favorite companion
Let love melt your heart like sunlight on snow
Awake to the sunrise of another day dawning
For always, in all ways, wherever you go

For always, in all ways, wherever you go
