Every day, along about evening When the sunlight's beginning to pale I ride through the slumbering shadows
Along the Navajo Trail When it's night and crickets are callin' And coyotes are makin' a wail I dream by a smoldering fire Along the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well what a ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale It's time to climb into my saddle And ride the Navajo Trail
I love to lie and listen to the music When the wind is strummin' a sagebrush guitar When over yonder hill the moon is climbin' It always finds me wishin' on a star Well what a ya know, it's mornin' already There's the dawnin', so silver and pale (like a silvery veil) It's time to climb into my saddle
And ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail Ride the Navajo Trail
I've watched the gold in your hair turn silver And the sparkle in your eyes dim more each day And the clutch of your hands getting weaker All these things say it wasn't yesterday
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary
The paper we signed has turned yellow Its crumbling edges tend to tell its age Its meaning we will cherish forever But in the book of our lives, it's just a page
So darlin', Happy Anniversary You've made my life for me Once again, thanks for the memory My darlin', Happy Anniversary My darlin', Happy Anniversary
