Shaggy

Intro - piano, classical guitar

Verse 1

A gentle soul, a poodle's grace,

A loving look upon your face.

With every word, my voice you'd hear,

Your tail would wag, dispelling fear.

You laid so close, right by my feet,

Our daily walks, a rhythm sweet.

Following me, from room to room,

Chasing away every shadow of gloom.

Chorus

Oh, Shaggy, my dear, through sixteen years,

You wiped away my silent tears.

A loyal heart, so pure and true,

My best friend, I'll always miss you.

Verse 2

When sadness touched my weary soul,

You made my broken spirit whole.

A gentle lick, a soft embrace,

Finding comfort in your loving space.

You always knew just what I'd need,

Planting a comforting, quiet seed.

A silent promise, understood,

My constant presence, always good.

Chorus

Oh, Shaggy, my dear, through sixteen years,

You wiped away my silent tears.

A loyal heart, so pure and true,

My best friend, I'll always miss you.

Bridge

Now you're running free, a puppy's plight,

No more pain beneath the morning light.

One day you will run to my arms, it's true,

And we will run free, me and you, my best friend.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Shaggy, my dear, through sixteen years,

You wiped away my silent tears.

A loyal heart, so pure and true,

My best friend, I'll always miss you.

Outro

Waiting there, beyond the blue,

Until the day I'll be with you.

Running free, forever bright,

Bathed in endless, peaceful light.

Outro - piano fade
