Lorelei

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the moment you arrived, a shadow by my side,

Through every changing season, nowhere left to hide.

You watched my little children grow, with a gentle, patient heart,

A guardian, loyal Doberman, right from the very start.

Chorus

Oh, Lorelei, my steadfast friend, for fifteen amazing years,

You wiped away my quiet doubts, and soothed away my fears.

A bond like no other, shining clear and bright,

My beautiful Lorelei, my guiding, gentle light.

Verse 2

In my office, day by day, you'd softly make your bed,

A silent, watchful presence, by every word I said.

You never left my side, a comfort deep and true,

Through busy tasks and quiet thoughts, I always had you.

Chorus

Oh, Lorelei, my steadfast friend, for fifteen amazing years,

You wiped away my quiet doubts, and soothed away my fears.

A bond like no other, shining clear and bright,

My beautiful Lorelei, my guiding, gentle light.

Bridge

I will miss you for the rest of my life, a wound that won't mend,

But this is not the final chapter, not truly the end.

A silent promise whispered, carried on the breeze,

I know I will see you again, Lorelei, and find my peace.

Instrumental - strings, oboe

Final Chorus

Oh, Lorelei, my steadfast friend, for fifteen amazing years,

You wiped away my quiet doubts, and soothed away my fears.

A bond like no other, shining clear and bright,

My beautiful Lorelei, my guiding, gentle light.

Outro

Now you're running, free and joyful, a puppy once again,

Across fields of endless sunshine, beyond all earthly pain.

Rest easy, my sweet Lorelei, in that bright and peaceful space,

Until we meet again, by God's eternal grace.
