Jacey

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

In memories soft, a gentle hum,

Of a loyal heart, when I would come.

At the laundry door, you’d wait for me,

My beautiful Border Collie, wild and free.

To be hugged and held, your joy so deep,

Secrets you’d guard, while I would sleep.

Obedient, intelligent, a loving soul,

You made my weary spirit whole.

Chorus

Oh, Jacey, Jacey, a light so true,

For twelve beautiful years, my love, with you.

Though time has passed, and tears still fall,

Your loving spirit answers my call.

Verse 2

Out in the garden, sunbeams bright,

You’d sit beside me, my guiding light.

Wherever I ventured, you’d always trace,

A constant shadow, full of grace.

Your head upon my knee, a tender sign,

A silent promise, forever mine.

Though your departure came so fast,

The love we shared, forever will last.

Chorus

Oh, Jacey, Jacey, a light so true,

For twelve beautiful years, my love, with you.

Though time has passed, and tears still fall,

Your loving spirit answers my call.

Verse 3

Seven long years have softly flown,

Since you left me, and I felt alone.

So suddenly, my heart still aches,

For the sweet companionship it breaks.

Though I still miss you, and softly cry,

I see your spirit in the clear blue sky.

My loyal Jacey, forever dear,

I wish that somehow, you were still here.

Bridge

Now I am eighty, my journey's near,

Soon I’ll be with you, banishing fear.

With my dear son, a joyful reunion so grand,

No pain, just running, across a golden land,

Chasing the balls you loved to find,

Leaving all earthly sorrows behind.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Jacey, Jacey, a light so true,

For twelve beautiful years, my love, with you.

Though time has passed, and tears still fall,

Your loving spirit answers my call.

Outro

Running free, on fields of green,

The happiest Jacey I've ever seen.

Chasing balls with joy and might,

Waiting for me, bathed in eternal light.

Outro - piano fade
