32 Years

from True Compass by Tret Fure

lyrics

32 long years, three girls now grown

All back to help you get on your way

A doctor, a teacher with kids of their own

The last one your baby and always will stay so

Time to leave this house that held you so fast

Time to put behind a lifetime of living

Take down the pictures that harbor the past

A time for letting go and forgiving

Chorus:
All the dreams you’ve dreamed here are wrapped up

All the years you’ve lived are packed up and moved away

Memories like boxes folded and filled up

Tears seal the seams
And tear you away

Up to the attic, old Barbie Dolls

Out on the driveway, the sound of a free throw

Echoes of yesterday bounce through these halls

And right now it seems like all that you know

Chorus

Sometimes moving forward

Seems like two steps behind

Sometimes what is best is hardest to find

Just remember the blessing

Just remember the grace

And thank God for daughters like you raised

You sit in a circle around a treasure chest

Laughing and crying at all you remember

Little time to linger, less time to rest

But these times will always be marked by September

Chorus
