Kooda

Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin

Verse 1

When the morning light first starts to gleam,

You're always present in my waking dream.

And in the quiet hours, when I'm alone at night,

Your memory shines, a warm and guiding light.

I see you picking up your favorite toys,

With joyful barks and all your happy noise.

Then galloping, flipping them up high with grace,

Leaving a smile upon my tear-stained face.

Chorus

Oh, Kooda, my sweet boy, it's plain to see,

For fourteen loving years, you stayed with me.

Your faithful heart, your spirit bright and bold,

A story of pure love, forever told.

Verse 2

I remember mornings, just before the sun,

Those 6 AM cuddles, when the day was barely spun.

And coming home each evening, tired from my work,

Your wagging tail and greeting, a loving, happy quirk.

A gentle lick, a nudge against my hand,

The best companion in this changing land.

You showed me comfort, true and deep and real,

A bond like ours, I'll always feel.

Chorus

Oh, Kooda, my sweet boy, it's plain to see,

For fourteen loving years, you stayed with me.

Your faithful heart, your spirit bright and bold,

A story of pure love, forever told.

Verse 3

We walked the pathways, through the sun and rain,

Each day a journey, easing every pain.

Your sturdy presence, strong and ever true,

A steadfast heart in everything you'd do.

From morning greetings to the quiet night,

You filled my world with pure and endless light.

A quiet guardian, watching over me,

A bond like ours, for all eternity.

Verse 4

Through every season, calm and bright or gray,

You followed close throughout my every day.

Your gentle shadow, never far from me,

A silent comfort, setting my heart free.

I'd feel your soft head resting on my knee,

A quiet love for all the world to see.

The peaceful sound of breathing, soft and low,

My dearest Kooda, how I miss you so.

Bridge

I whisper to the heavens, "I will see you again,"

My deepest love for you will never end.

"I miss you so much, I love you for infinity,"

You're watching over me, I know you are, my buddy.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Kooda, my sweet boy, it's plain to see,

For fourteen loving years, you stayed with me.

Your faithful heart, your spirit bright and bold,

A story of pure love, forever told.

Outro

Now you're waiting for me, beyond the sky so blue,

Looking down, you want my happiness to bloom anew.

Running free and peaceful, in a place serene,

My Kooda, my dear friend, forever evergreen.

Outro - guitar fade
