Foster

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The first time we met, a sleek black lab pup,

On Grand Valley Lake, we would open it up.

A waverunner ride, with the wind in your fur,

Your happy barks echoed, a joyful, clear blur.

Chorus

Oh, Foster, my boy, my truest, best friend,

Eleven long years, a love without end.

Though now you are gone, your spirit still gleams,

You live in my heart, and my fondest of dreams.

Verse 2

When the long day was over, and work was all done,

To pick you up, Foster, was my favorite run.

Your tail wagging welcome, a wet nose so sweet,

The best greeting ever, a love hard to beat.

Chorus

Oh, Foster, my boy, my truest, best friend,

Eleven long years, a love without end.

Though now you are gone, your spirit still gleams,

You live in my heart, and my fondest of dreams.

Bridge

I whispered goodbye, a tear in my eye,

"I love you, Foster, now go run free, my guy."

"I'll see you soon, friend, at The Rainbow Bridge, wait,"

No more pain for you now, just an open gate.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, harmonica, upright bass

Final Chorus

Oh, Foster, my boy, my truest, best friend,

Eleven long years, a love without end.

Though now you are gone, your spirit still gleams,

You live in my heart, and my fondest of dreams.

Outro - acoustic guitar, harmonica fade

Now playing with Leigh, and Sal, and dear Dave,

In a big, green field, where you'll forever be brave.

Running free, happy and whole,

A light for my spirit, a joy for my soul.
