My Compass Always Pointed You

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Down at Meek High, so long ago, A boy with dark hair, blue eyes aglow. Eighth grade dreaming, I lost my heart, Beside those halls where we got our start. Through every breakup, still I knew, My compass always pointed to you. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my love, my faithful friend, Forty-six years and I'd do it again. From that Chevelle to the world so wide, You've been my rock, my joy, my guide. Every year I love you more, You're all my heart's been living for. [Verse 2] Down in the coal mines, hour by hour, You carried us with quiet power. When I chased dreams and books and more, You held the pieces, evened the score. Jaime and Heath, they grew so proud, Of a daddy standing tall in the crowd. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my love, my faithful friend, Forty-six years and I'd do it again. From that Chevelle to the world so wide, You've been my rock, my joy, my guide. Every year I love you more, You're all my heart's been living for. [Bridge] Olivia and Andrew light up when you're near, Their Pops who can fix and build anything, dear. Hawaii, Alaska, and Europe's fine roads— Still bucket lists waiting, wherever we go. [Verse 3] You knelt in that backseat, asked me to stay, Gatlinburg mornings and a bright new day. Now this is Gayle, singing to you, Grateful for all that we've traveled through. My mate, my lover, my best friend true, The rest of forever, I'll spend with you. [Chorus] Oh Jeff, my love, my faithful friend, Forty-six years and I'd do it again. From that Chevelle to the world so wide, You've been my rock, my joy, my guide. [Outro] Every year I love you more, Jeff, you're all I'm living for.
