Jimmy

Intro - grand piano, strings

Verse 1

The moment my key would softly turn

Your little spirit would brightly burn

You'd come to life, by the front door frame

Always waiting, calling out my name.

Your eyes so bright, a steady stare

A faithful welcome beyond compare

Each day began with your sweet face

A loyal heart in your special place.

Chorus

Oh, Jimmy, my sweet loyal friend

Seventeen years, right to the very end

A love like yours, so pure and true

My world was always brighter with you.

Verse 2

When evening came and work was done

Our daily ritual, always fun

That little harness, held up high

You'd turn into a puppy, reaching for the sky.

A youthful bounce, a happy spin

The wild joy always deep within

You'd dance and prance, so full of glee

The happiest part of the day for me.

Chorus

Oh, Jimmy, my sweet loyal friend

Seventeen years, right to the very end

A love like yours, so pure and true

My world was always brighter with you.

Bridge

Now explore the heavens, dear, my little star

No limits now, no journey's ever far

Enjoy your time in grace, pure and free

So we can visit them together, someday, you and me.

We'll walk those golden paths, I know

Where endless love and peace will flow.

Instrumental - cello solo, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Jimmy, my sweet loyal friend

Seventeen years, right to the very end

A love like yours, so pure and true

My world was always brighter with you.

Outro

I see you now, a joyful dream

Running free by a silver stream

In open meadows, soft and green

Bouncing like a deer, a happy scene.

Peaceful slumber, sweet and deep

Your memory, I will always keep.

Outro - strings fade
