My Compass and My Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I was drifting on a road with no name Every morning felt a little the same Then a message on a California night Turned the static into something bright You said hello and I said hey And I've been chasing your light since that day [Chorus] You turned my life around Gave my restless heart some ground Strong as steel and soft as rain You're the song I sing again Fifty candles, light them high You're my compass and my sky [Verse 2] We packed our boxes, chased the sun England, Texas, Missouri, one by one Utah mountains, Idaho snow Every place was home with you so close Fifty states, we saw them all Dawn, you made the whole world feel small [Chorus] You turned my life around Gave my restless heart some ground Strong as steel and soft as rain You're the song I sing again Fifty candles, light them high You're my compass and my sky [Bridge] Red and gold on Sunday, Chiefs up on the screen Singing Taylor Swift like you're seventeen Dreaming of a Paris street in spring You find the joy in everything [Verse 3] You give your heart to every soul in need A helping hand, a quiet, kindly deed Strong willed, you never bend Our family's rock, my truest friend So here's to you on your big day Dawn, I'll love you all the way [Chorus] You turned my life around Gave my restless heart some ground Strong as steel and soft as rain You're the song I sing again Fifty years and still you shine Forever, baby, you'll be mine [Outro] Happy fiftieth, my love Dawn, you're all I'm dreaming of
