The Gift of the Song
by George Spendley
In dark days of sadness and bright days of joy,
a gift of the music from a country boy
fills hearts all around with such passion and love,
it falls down upon us from Heaven above.
He taught us to dream and he taught us to hope,
he taught us to love and he taught us to cope.
Together we laughed, together we cried,
through words and through music we all shared the pride.
The days now grow shorter, the nights are so long,
but together we stay in the gift of the song.
The country boy's magic and love fills us all,
together, embraced, we prepare for the fall.
