Betty's Eulogy

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”
