Oliver

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The day we met, a little golden paw,

You'd beg for scraps, defying every law.

A sweet furball, you loved each passing face,

With joyful barks and endless, happy grace.

Your head out the window, loving every ride,

A splash in the water, nowhere left to hide.

A friend to all, so gentle and so kind,

The truest heart that we could ever find.

Chorus

Oh, Oliver, our dear Oliver, it's true,

Eight golden years, a blessing with you.

Though tears may fall, and hearts may ache inside,

Your memory's a warm and constant tide.

Verse 2

Each morning light, a happy tail would wag,

No greater welcome, no moment could lag.

You'd meet us at the door with eager, happy sound,

The finest greeting anywhere around.

Your playful spirit, bright and full of cheer,

Chasing shadows, calming every fear.

A loyal soul, steadfast and ever keen,

The best companion we had ever seen.

Chorus

Oh, Oliver, our dear Oliver, it's true,

Eight golden years, a blessing with you.

Though tears may fall, and hearts may ache inside,

Your memory's a warm and constant tide.

Bridge

We whispered low, "Go run free, no more pain,"

Across the fields, through sun and pouring rain.

Finally catch that squirrel, just out of sight,

With Alex and Joy, bathed in endless light.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Oliver, our dear Oliver, it's true,

Eight golden years, a blessing with you.

Though tears may fall, and hearts may ache inside,

Your memory's a warm and constant tide.

Outro

Now running pain-free, boundless and so fast,

Your spirit soaring, forever built to last.

Peaceful dreams, beneath a gentle sky,

Our sweet Golden boy, we'll miss you till we die.

Outro - guitar fade
