Oscar

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember the day you first came home to me

A little black schnauzer, as cute as could be

With sparkling eyes and a tiny little bark

You filled every corner, leaving your sweet mark

Those full-body wiggles, a joy to behold

Your happy "shuggies," a story untold

My heart was captured, right from the start

A tiny companion, a work of art

Chorus

Oh, Oscar, my dear friend, twelve years by my side

Through laughter and tears, you were my loyal guide

A constant presence, a love pure and true

My world was brighter, simply because of you.

Verse 2

No matter the day, or how long I was gone

The sound of my key, your welcome so strong

A blur of black fur, by the door you would wait

Your happy excitement, never too late

A wagging tail symphony, a bark of delight

You'd meet me with passion, shining so bright

My faithful shadow, a presence so dear

Chasing away every doubt and every fear.

Chorus

Oh, Oscar, my dear friend, twelve years by my side

Through laughter and tears, you were my loyal guide

A constant presence, a love pure and true

My world was brighter, simply because of you.

Bridge

Now go run and play, in your new body so free

Unburdened by pain, for all eternity

I love you so much, my sweet beautiful baby

My heart holds your memory, come what may.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Oscar, my dear friend, twelve years by my side

Through laughter and tears, you were my loyal guide

A constant presence, a love pure and true

My world was brighter, simply because of you.

Outro - acoustic guitar, harmonica fade

Now you are running, free and playing bright

My sweet Oscar, bathed in endless light.
