Song Description

The loss of a dog I loved very much

Lyrics

MY BEST FRIEND

I picked you up at barely 2 months old
Held you all the way home down a long country road
I took you home and realized right then
You made me feel like a little kid again

We ran in the park and played games every day
And in my saddest times you took my mind away
When the world got heavy and I couldn't stand
You'd rest your head right in my hand

Now your old leash still lays by the door
I still can't bear to walk alone anymore

Chorus

Still hear your paws on that old wood floor
You're not running through the yard anymore
There's a ball you used to fetch old and frayed
And a silence since you're gone I can't replace
I'd give anything to walk with you again
But we'll be together soon my best friend...

We both grew old together and I won't forget
That you stayed so strong for us 'til your final breath
But one day when you laid your head on my shoe
Looked into my eyes as if to say, "Thanks my life was good"

I have dreams about you waiting by the door
Cause your memory lives with me forever more

Last Chorus

If love could've saved you, you'd still be here
I still think about you when I'm alone with my tears
But I know you're out there, tail held high
Running with the other angels up in the sky
I'd give anything to walk with you again
But we'll be together soon my best friend, my best friend, my best friend...
