Betty’s Eulogy

Compositor: Samantha Crain

Early in the morning I needed you
I wanted you by my side
The aviator, the celebrity
Taken from a country and a wife
Oh the Orion to Port Barrow
I had to have known all this time
The land of the midnight Sun
The last frontier
My cowboy dear said goodbye

And he was singing: Lord let me live until I die
He was singing: Lord let me live until I die

The ropin’ fool, the Cherokee lassoed my heart
My blazing star, I was his sky
Searching for another truth, the next great joke
I’ve always known he could fly

And he was singing: Lord let me live until I die
He was singing: Lord let me live until I die
And he was singing: Lord let me live until I die
He was singing: Lord let me live until I die
