[Verse]
The clock keeps ticking the sun sinks low
Your hands once steady now moving slow
Your stories linger like whispers in air
A lifetime of wisdom etched everywhere
[Chorus]
Goodbye my anchor goodbye my guide
You taught me to stand you stayed by my side
Now the winds are calling I must let you go
But your love’s a compass I’ll always know
[Verse 2]
The chair by the window now feels so still
Your laughter echoes but fades at will
I see your shadow in the setting sun
A chapter’s ending but your spirit’s not done
[Chorus]
Goodbye my anchor goodbye my guide
You taught me to stand you stayed by my side
Now the winds are calling I must let you go
But your love’s a compass I’ll always know
[Bridge]
I’ll carry your lessons I’ll hold them tight
Through the darkest hours through the brightest light
Though the world may change and the seasons spin
Your voice will lead me where I begin
[Verse 3]
The garden blooms where your hands once toiled
A testament to love that time can’t spoil
Though I’m crying now I’ll smile someday
For the roots you planted will never decay
