“The Compass of His Love” (Remastered)

My dad was my hero. He steadied my first ride. He pushed behind my bike, guiding along the side. And, when the training wheels came off, we rode all around. Up and down the mounds we raced. Laughing, to keep pace. The breeze was like a melody that spun along the road. And time beneath our laughter carried a lightened load. Oh, what joy those memories bring! But time, like clouds across the sun, can quickly dim the day. Oh Dad, I wish that you could stay. His love is the one song that always plays. His love is the compass that guides my days. The day I left for college, a new road to pursue, He looked me in the eye and said, "It's all up to you." "I've done my very best," he smiled, "I've given you all I know." "Remember that I love you, now it's time to watch you grow. Oh, what joy those memories bring! Though time, like clouds across the sun, can quickly dim the day. The path you set still guides my way. His love is the one song that always plays. His love is the compass that guides my days. The years went by, the seasons changed, and the roles began to turn, I held his hand and walked with him, a new kind of lesson to learn. His memories faded, a light that flickered low, But when he looked at me, his eyes would say, "I love you so." Oh, what joy those memories bring! But time, like clouds across the sun, can quickly dim the day. Your love ensures your memories stay. His love is the one song that always plays. His love is the compass that guides my days. Yes, my dad said "Remember", and I read between the lines. “Remember that I love you. A treasure that is mine. My dad said, "Remember," and yes, I miss him dearly. That treasure still remains. Oh, what joy those memories bring! But time, like clouds across the sun, can quickly dim the day. Oh Dad, I wish that you could stay. His love is the one song that always plays. His love is the compass that guides my days.
