Cricket

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

I remember the first time, your tiny happy hop,

A little Chihuahua, you never seemed to stop.

Such strength within you, a will to just survive,

The comfort you gave me, truly kept my heart alive.

I'd hold you close and feel your peace, a love so sweet and deep,

While all the world outside us, gently went to sleep.

Chorus

Oh, Cricket, my dear, for thirteen precious years,

You chased away my shadows, you dried my every tear.

A love so pure and gentle, a bond that will not cease,

My little guardian angel, bringing me such peace.

Verse 2

Those quiet moments, when it was just us two,

A special kind of magic, in everything you'd do.

Your tiny head upon my lap, a sigh, a gentle purr,

No other soul could give me what your loving presence were.

You taught me lessons silent, of comfort and of grace,

A cherished friend forever, in this lonely, empty space.

Chorus

Oh, Cricket, my dear, for thirteen precious years,

You chased away my shadows, you dried my every tear.

A love so pure and gentle, a bond that will not cease,

My little guardian angel, bringing me such peace.

Bridge

I close my eyes and feel you near, a whisper in the air,

"I can't wait to be with you again, my everything, my prayer."

A love that spans beyond the stars, a promise in my heart,

We'll reunite someday, dear friend, never again to part.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Cricket, my dear, for thirteen precious years,

You chased away my shadows, you dried my every tear.

A love so pure and gentle, a bond that will not cease,

My little guardian angel, bringing me such peace.

Outro

Now you're running free again, a fierce heart, strong and bold,

Chasing dreams and sunbeams, a story to unfold.

Held so tight and truly loved, in endless, sweet embrace,

Rest easy, my sweet Cricket, in that peaceful, perfect place.

Outro - piano fade
