Cory

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

A gentle paw upon my hand, a tender, soft command

Our first car ride, a silent plea, a loving glance from you to me

A Poodle's grace, a spirit bright, filling every day with light

Right from the start, a bond so true, my world made better, all by you

Chorus

Oh, Cory, my dear friend, your journey knows no end

Through fourteen awesome years, you dried away my tears

Your love a light, forever bright, shining on in morning's light

A paw print on my weary soul, making every broken whole

Verse 2

Those morning drives, a daily treat, to Starbucks on our happy feet

Your quiet joy, a special grace, a smile upon your handsome face

And coming home, your joyful sound, the happiest welcome could be found

You'd meet us at the door with glee, the greatest gift, you were to me

Chorus

Oh, Cory, my dear friend, your journey knows no end

Through fourteen awesome years, you dried away my tears

Your love a light, forever bright, shining on in morning's light

A paw print on my weary soul, making every broken whole

Bridge

Though silence now fills every room, dispelling any hint of gloom

I whisper back, my heart's pure joy, "More than a friend, I love my Boy."

My gentle boy, my loyal guide, forever living deep inside

Instrumental - banjo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Cory, my dear friend, your journey knows no end

Through fourteen awesome years, you dried away my tears

Your love a light, forever bright, shining on in morning's light

A paw print on my weary soul, making every broken whole

Outro

Now with Fudge, your sister true, chasing balls beneath the blue

Free and light, no pain, no fear, forever loved, forever near

Outro - guitar fade
