Wallace

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

I remember when you first fell ill, my little Braveheart sweet,

For three long weeks, my love, I tried to make your spirit complete.

You crossed the bridge in gentle sleep, a peaceful, quiet sound,

A tiny dachshund soul too good for this earthly ground.

Chorus

Oh, Wallace, dear Wallace, it was 8 short years we shared,

My heart still breaks to know you're gone, beyond all my despair.

My tears still fall, a river deep, for the love I held so tight,

A star has faded from my sky, stealing all my light.

Verse 2

I miss the way you'd sit and wait, your patient eyes on me,

For gentle holds and loving kisses, as sweet as they could be.

Now Clancy waits beside me, missing his brother too,

A quiet echo in the house, where once there were two.

Chorus

Oh, Wallace, dear Wallace, it was 8 short years we shared,

My heart still breaks to know you're gone, beyond all my despair.

My tears still fall, a river deep, for the love I held so tight,

A star has faded from my sky, stealing all my light.

Bridge

They say you're with the Lord above, where pain no longer stays,

But still, I whisper to the wind through lonely, tearful days.

"Wait for me, my darling boy, with all the love we knew,

When we're together once again, eternity is for me and you."

Instrumental - cello solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Wallace, dear Wallace, it was 8 short years we shared,

My heart still breaks to know you're gone, beyond all my despair.

My tears still fall, a river deep, for the love I held so tight,

A star has faded from my sky, stealing all my light.

Outro

Now you rest with Him above, no shadow or no fear,

But still, my tears fall down my face, wishing you were here.

Sleeping soundly, free from pain, a tiny soul at peace,

Until we meet again, my love, may all your joy increase.
