My Northern Star
/Music: Peter Sprague
Lyrics: Randy Phillips
As the sun streams through the windows
He Wonders what the day might bring
Feeds the finches and the sparrows
Fills the fountain as they sing
He’s one part granite, two parts grace
His love is always free
It’s his way and that is why
He means so much to me
V.2
He’s my coffee buzz at daybreak
He’s my lazy afternoon
When he’s gone something’s just missing
When he leaves, he leaves too soon
In his hands there’s grit and tenderness
His touch is pure tai chi
It’s his way and that is why
He means so much to me
Bridge:
His heart’s ferocious
and he is fierce
In how he loves
and who he loves
and what he loves
and why he loves
and I’m the one
that he truly loves
He is strong
He is kind
He knows how to live this life
With his love he lights the way
My Northern Star
V.3
When I want to go where he goes, he reaches out to take my hand
So keep your store-bought heroes
All I want’s this one good man
A heart wide open, spacious as
The blue Montana sky
It’s his way and it’s the way
He loves and that is why
