Rubi

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the moment you came to our door,

A happy spirit we adored.

A tiny dog with a joyful sound,

The friendliest pup in the whole wide town.

Your little tail would wag with glee,

A perfect welcome for all to see.

No stranger was ever left un-greeted,

Your love for all was always completed.

Chorus

Oh, Rubi, our sweet girl, a light so true,

Only seven short years we had with you.

But in that time, a love so deep,

Precious memories we will always keep.

Verse 2

The evening walks were your delight,

Under the fading golden light.

With other dogs, you'd trot along,

A happy, quiet, evening song.

Though small in stature, big in heart,

You played your loving, vital part.

Through fields and paths, your spirit flew,

Making every moment fresh and new.

Chorus

Oh, Rubi, our sweet girl, a light so true,

Only seven short years we had with you.

But in that time, a love so deep,

Precious memories we will always keep.

Bridge

My whispered words, I softly plea,

"Rubi, you were such a good girl!" I agree.

The best companion, loyal and kind,

A precious treasure for us to find.

Instrumental - strings, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Rubi, our sweet girl, a light so true,

Only seven short years we had with you.

But in that time, a love so deep,

Precious memories we will always keep.

Outro

Now cataracts fade, your vision clear,

No more the shadows, no more the fear.

You're seeing the ocean, wide and blue,

Running free, a brand new view.

Resting now, with sun on your face,

In a peaceful, everlasting place.

Outro - strings fade
