Reo

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

The first time our eyes met, a joy in your gaze,

You greeted me always, through all of our days.

In the quiet of nighttime, as shadows would creep,

Your soft, gentle breathing, while I fell asleep.

The rumble of engine, our truck was our home,

Together we wandered, no longer alone.

A faithful companion, right by my side,

With nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide.

Chorus

Oh Reo, my Reo, a star in the night,

For fourteen long years, you filled my world with light.

My loyal Border collie, so bright and so keen,

The best friend a heart could have ever seen.

Verse 2

After miles of travel, with sun in our eyes,

We'd pull off the highway, beneath open skies.

Then playtime at evenings, the day's journey done,

With laughter and chasing, beneath the setting sun.

Cross country we travelled, a blur of green and gold,

Adventures together, a story untold.

Your spirit so vibrant, a joy to behold,

More precious than silver, more rare than pure gold.

Chorus

Oh Reo, my Reo, a star in the night,

For fourteen long years, you filled my world with light.

My loyal Border collie, so bright and so keen,

The best friend a heart could have ever seen.

Bridge

The quiet now lingers, where footsteps once played,

But memories bloom bright, they never will fade.

I whisper your name now, a tear in my eye,

"I love you and miss you, my pup pup, goodbye."

Instrumental - piano, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh Reo, my Reo, a star in the night,

For fourteen long years, you filled my world with light.

My loyal Border collie, so bright and so keen,

The best friend a heart could have ever seen.

Outro

Now I see you running, where green fields extend,

Chasing a tennis ball, around every bend.

Free and untroubled, beneath skies so blue,

My sweet Reo, always, I'll remember you.

Outro - piano fade
