Max

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the very start, a tiny loyal friend,

A little Shitzhu, to my side you'd mend.

Your small brown eyes, always on my trace,

Making sure I stayed within your loving space.

Each gentle step, a shadow at my heel,

The truest comfort, how you made me feel.

A tiny guardian, never far from sight,

Filling all my days with steady, quiet light.

Chorus

Oh, Max, my Max, seventeen years we knew,

A lifetime of devotion, pure and true.

In every memory, your sweet spirit gleams,

The brightest star within my dearest dreams.

Verse 2

Five AM, the morning would begin,

You'd check on me, patiently waiting in.

As hair was styled, a signal understood,

Time for outside, my sweet and clever good.

A morning ritual, shared just by us two,

A silent language, always clear and true.

Your gentle nudge, a paw upon my knee,

Such simple moments, meant the world to me.

Chorus

Oh, Max, my Max, seventeen years we knew,

A lifetime of devotion, pure and true.

In every memory, your sweet spirit gleams,

The brightest star within my dearest dreams.

Bridge

Though silence fills the halls where you once played,

The echo of your love will never fade.

My heart still whispers, clear and soft and deep,

Mama's good boy, I love you, as I weep.

Orchestral Swell

Final Chorus

Oh, Max, my Max, seventeen years we knew,

A lifetime of devotion, pure and true.

In every memory, your sweet spirit gleams,

The brightest star within my dearest dreams.

Outro

Now I see you free, in halls of golden light,

Running, soaring, with all your might.

Your ears are flying, in a joyful, endless race,

Returning always to your loving place.
