Shippy

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

I remember the day, so clear in my mind

A tiny Yorkie Poo, one of a kind

A soft little nudge on my leg, a sweet plea

To be scooped in my arms, right next to me

You followed us close, wherever we'd roam

A shadow of love, here in our home

Your presence a comfort, a whisper so light

Guiding our days, and calming each night.

Chorus

Oh, Shippy, dear Shippy, you stayed by our side

For ten precious years, our joy and our pride

A love like no other, forever will be

Etched deep in our hearts, for eternity.

Verse 2

Each time I walked in, from the day's weary race

You'd greet me with joy, a smile on your face

Then later, at night, a soft paw would appear

A gentle reminder, "My human, come near."

You loved going places, a "by-bye" meant fun

Right up till the moment the long journey's done

Your spirit so playful, your loyalty true

Every moment a gift, shared only with you.

Chorus

Oh, Shippy, dear Shippy, you stayed by our side

For ten precious years, our joy and our pride

A love like no other, forever will be

Etched deep in our hearts, for eternity.

Bridge

Though silence may fall, and tears gently flow

Your spirit is here, as well as we know

A final sweet whisper, I hear in my dreams

"Let's go see Mahi," how peaceful it seems.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Shippy, dear Shippy, you stayed by our side

For ten precious years, our joy and our pride

A love like no other, forever will be

Etched deep in our hearts, for eternity.

Outro

Now you're playing again, with your favorite squeaky toy

Filled with pure happiness, boundless with joy

Running free, happy and bright

Sleeping peacefully through the long night.

Outro - soft hum, guitar fade
