Rocky

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the day we met, a fluffy, gentle friend,

A loyal Bernese heart, right to the very end.

Laying down beside me, a sight I'd always know,

Your sweet pink tongue stuck out, a happy, silent show.

A big soft presence, full of warmth and grace,

Bringing quiet comfort to every single space.

Your calm and steady gaze, a comfort in the grey,

You brightened up my world in your own loving way.

Chorus

Oh, Rocky, my boy, you gave me so much light,

Nine years of purest love, so strong and ever bright.

Though sadness fills my heart, I know your spirit's free,

My dear sweet Rocky, you're still here with me.

Verse 2

Each day when work was done, I'd walk back to the door,

And there you'd be to greet me, wanting nothing more.

That happy tail would wag, a frantic, joyful beat,

A welcome that was pure, so precious and so sweet.

You'd make me feel important, cherished and adored,

My Squishy Booty, a treasure to be stored.

With every happy bark, and joy upon your face,

Always a happy grin, in your beloved place.

Chorus

Oh, Rocky, my boy, you gave me so much light,

Nine years of purest love, so strong and ever bright.

Though sadness fills my heart, I know your spirit's free,

My dear sweet Rocky, you're still here with me.

Verse 3

Through changing seasons, and each passing year,

Your constant, gentle presence, always held me dear.

A heavy head upon my lap, a comforting soft sigh,

Beneath the quiet stars, or sun up in the sky.

No need for spoken words, your message always clear,

Just soulful, loving eyes, to banish every fear.

The rhythm of your breath, a steady, peaceful sound,

The truest, purest friend, that I have ever found.

Bridge

When shadows tried to creep, and sorrow held me tight,

Your sweet and gentle smile would turn my world to light.

It made every bad day a happy one for me,

A simple truth, my friend, for all the world to see.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Rocky, my boy, you gave me so much light,

Nine years of purest love, so strong and ever bright.

Though sadness fills my heart, I know your spirit's free,

My dear sweet Rocky, you're still here with me.

Outro

Now you're running free, no pain to hold you down,

Playing with your brother, beyond this earthly town.

Beneath an endless sky, a happy, peaceful place,

Still wagging that sweet tail, with joy upon your face.
