Archie

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

From the start, a joyful leap, a playful bark so clear,

You taught us lessons, held so deep, banishing all fear.

A tiny poodle, full of grace, with spirit wild and free,

You made the most of every space, for all the world to see.

Each waking moment, bright and new, a game you'd always find,

Your love for fun shone brightly through, a one-of-a-kind.

With every wag and happy bound, you filled our days with glee,

The happiest pup on hallowed ground, for all eternity.

Chorus

Oh, Archie, our sweet boy, a light so pure and true,

For two short years and half of joy, our hearts belonged to you.

Your spirit dances, bright and keen, a love that won't depart,

The happiest poodle we have seen, forever in our heart.

Verse 2

When darkness loomed and strength ran low, you'd find your way to me,

A gentle comfort, soft and slow, a healing sight to see.

Your special cuddles, warm and tight, after the treatments worn,

You brought me back into the light, a new day every morn.

And then your crazy zoomies flew, a whirlwind on the floor,

With joyful barks and happy "woo!", always wanting more.

A mix of comfort, wild and free, a friend beyond compare,

You truly meant the world to me, beyond all earthly care.

Chorus

Oh, Archie, our sweet boy, a light so pure and true,

For two short years and half of joy, our hearts belonged to you.

Your spirit dances, bright and keen, a love that won't depart,

The happiest poodle we have seen, forever in our heart.

Verse 3

Though time with you felt all too swift, your presence filled our home,

A constant, beautiful, loving gift, wherever we would roam.

You showed us joy in simple things, a lesson clear and bright,

On silent paws, your spirit sings, and fills our world with light.

Each little sigh, each happy bark, a treasure to recall,

You left your everlasting mark, enchanting one and all.

Bridge

I love you, darling, it is true, I'll find you once again,

I miss your cuddles, warm and new, and chase away the pain.

Your crazy zoomies, what a sight, I carry in my mind,

You left us bathed in joyful light, a love of every kind.

Instrumental - piano, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Archie, our sweet boy, a light so pure and true,

For two short years and half of joy, our hearts belonged to you.

Your spirit dances, bright and keen, a love that won't depart,

The happiest poodle we have seen, forever in our heart.

Outro

Now running free, beyond the blue, with paws so light and swift,

Near Rainbow Bridge, I'll wait for you, a precious, loving gift.

Rest easy, sweet Archie, till we meet again,

A joyful spirit, free from pain.
