Compass

Seated there by the window
For the view
We were flying above the Rockies
Sky so blue

She said she was not long
For this fleeting world
Reflected upon her marriage
Here life as a little girl
But soon the wisdom flowed

Don’t let the sun go down on the dreams that you hold
Cherish the ones you love, when you can let them know
Let your heart be your compass, it’s there to guide you
When you’re not sure which way to go

Back at the five and dime
Where it all began
I spotted him through the window
He was such a handsome man

Fifty years together
And no regrets
We accepted the roses with those thorns
Hard times with the best
But ahh, you’re still young

Don’t let the sun go down on the dreams that you hold
Cherish the ones you love, when you can let them know
Let your heart be your compass, it’s there to guide you
When you’re not sure which way to go
