Missy

Intro - ukulele, light percussion

Verse 1

From the moment you arrived, a tiny little spark,

A Havillon's soft presence, shining in the dark.

I needed you so much, as you needed me, it's true,

You taught my heart to open, how to love anew.

To sit still and be patient, lessons pure and deep,

A precious gift you offered, secrets I would keep.

You showed me gentle kindness, a spirit so serene,

The sweetest teacher ever, my beautiful canine queen.

Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear girl, for fifteen and a half years by my side,

Your love, a constant comfort, where my deepest feelings hide.

You filled my life with sunshine, a joy that knew no end,

My dearest, truest companion, my loyal, loving friend.

Verse 2

Through valleys of deep sorrow, when shadows gathered near,

You were my steadfast anchor, calming every fear.

When dad and grandpa left us, and mom then passed away,

Your gentle head beside me, brightened every day.

A sweet and loving spirit, giving all you had,

You always knew my feelings, when I was feeling sad.

A silent understanding, a bond so strong and true,

My precious, wise old soul, I found my strength in you.

Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear girl, for fifteen and a half years by my side,

Your love, a constant comfort, where my deepest feelings hide.

You filled my life with sunshine, a joy that knew no end,

My dearest, truest companion, my loyal, loving friend.

Bridge

Run free now, my Missy, across the golden plains,

Thank you for all you taught me, easing all my pains.

And thank you for sending Billie Jean and Bentley to my door,

Dori and I miss you dearly, forevermore.

Acoustic guitar solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear girl, for fifteen and a half years by my side,

Your love, a constant comfort, where my deepest feelings hide.

You filled my life with sunshine, a joy that knew no end,

My dearest, truest companion, my loyal, loving friend.

Outro - ukulele fade

Now you run free with Tubby, across the endless sky,

Watching over us always, with a loving, watchful eye.

You smile upon my heart, with two new dogs I treasure near,

Resting peacefully, knowing your love still conquers every fear.
