A nod to Dolly

Another leaf falls from the old oak tree

Another year of you right next to me

And in the quiet of our kitchen light

I see the lifetime we are building right

Oh, the seasons spin and the rivers bend But you're my beginning

and my sweetest end

And I would choose you over and again

Through every storm and everywhere we've been

My constant compass in a world of change

Our simple devotion stays the same (oh yes it does)

We've got our lines etched around our eyes

A map of laughter and of compromise

No silver screen could ever quite compare

To the daily grace we find in being there

And I would choose you over and again

Through every storm and everywhere we've been

My constant compass in a world of change

Our simple devotion stays the same

(always the same)

Stays the same

Through the years (mmm)
