Lulu

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember the sound, so clear and so true,

Of little nails clicking, I'd know it was you.

Across the hard wood floor, a soft, rhythmic beat,

Then scratching the back door, a hopeful, sweet plea.

You'd sit by the window, a watchful, dear face,

Guarding the front pane, holding your place.

Just waiting for me, to walk through the door,

The loyalest heart I could ever adore.

Chorus

Oh, Lulu, my Lulu, my steadfast old friend,

Eight wonderful years that never quite end.

Your love was a beacon, a comforting light,

Guiding me home through the day and the night.

Verse 2

That moment you'd greet me, a dance and a wag,

My daily homecoming, no sorrow or lag.

You'd lean in for cuddles, a soft, heavy sigh,

A gentle old soul, beneath a kind eye.

The warmth of your fur, a blanket of peace,

Bringing my busy, wild worries to cease.

Such comfort you gave, a silent embrace,

Filling our home with your sweet, loving grace.

Chorus

Oh, Lulu, my Lulu, my steadfast old friend,

Eight wonderful years that never quite end.

Your love was a beacon, a comforting light,

Guiding me home through the day and the night.

Bridge

They say you're the best dog, and truly you were,

No doubt in my heart, no moment unsure.

And whispers I carry, a promise so deep,

That someday again, our spirits will leap,

Together again, beyond this long night,

Walking in sunshine, bathed in pure light.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, bass

Final Chorus

Oh, Lulu, my Lulu, my steadfast old friend,

Eight wonderful years that never quite end.

Your love was a beacon, a comforting light,

Guiding me home through the day and the night.

Outro

I sit on your couch now, a quiet, soft space,

Imagine you waiting, still holding your place.

Just dreaming of sunshine, a long, peaceful sleep,

My sweet Lulu darling, your memory I keep.

Outro - guitar fade
