Benny's Story
Benny, the loving Golden Retriever, was truly a mama's boy, always leaning his head or touching his nose to your leg, just as he cherished swimming in Lake Michigan and camping trips. His comforting presence was constant, always there to greet you, even carrying a treasured shirt with your scent when you were away. Now, he swims freely with his sister, perhaps enjoying apples under a tree, forever remembered as a loyal heart that was always by your side.
— Remembered by Janine
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
I remember the first time, your head against my knee,
A loyal golden shadow, always close to me.
My mama's boy, you followed, my presence you adored,
A gentle, steady comfort, a love I treasured toward.
Chorus
Oh, Benny, my sweet boy, twelve long years we shared,
A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compare.
Your spirit shines forever, a beacon in the night,
My heart still feels your presence, my guiding, golden light.
Verse 2
When I'd come home weary, you'd greet me at the door,
And if I was away, my shirt you'd often store.
Your nose against my leg, a sweet and silent plea,
Swimming in Lake Michigan, wild and running free.
Chorus
Oh, Benny, my sweet boy, twelve long years we shared,
A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compare.
Your spirit shines forever, a beacon in the night,
My heart still feels your presence, my guiding, golden light.
Bridge
You will always be momma's boy, I'll never forget your grace,
You were always there beside me, when pain would find its place.
A comfort and a solace, through every ebb and flow,
The greatest love a heart could ever truly know.
Instrumental - banjo, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Benny, my sweet boy, twelve long years we shared,
A bond of pure devotion, beyond all compare.
Your spirit shines forever, a beacon in the night,
My heart still feels your presence, my guiding, golden light.
Outro
Now with your sister playing, beneath an apple tree,
Swimming in open waters, wild and truly free.
Peaceful dreams surround you, across the sunlit plain,
Until we meet again, my sweet boy, free from pain.
Outro - guitar fade
