Esme

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The house feels quiet now you're gone, it's true,

But memories shine, like morning dew.

From day one, a tiny bundle, soft and bright,

Cuddled against me, every single night.

My little shadow, always by my side,

A daddy's girl, nowhere to hide.

Those small paws tapping, a joyful sound,

The best companion ever found.

Chorus

Oh Esme, our sweet girl, so small and grand,

For fourteen wonderful years, you blessed our land.

Your love, a light that forever will burn,

A lesson in joy, at every turn.

Verse 2

Between Mum and Dad, a game you'd always chase,

With joyful barks and such a happy face.

You'd zoom across the floor, a blur of glee,

The fastest poodle anyone could see.

A playful spirit, full of life and fun,

Our little sunshine, 'til the day was done.

Those happy moments, clear as glass,

As through our lives, your bright light passed.

Chorus

Oh Esme, our sweet girl, so small and grand,

For fourteen wonderful years, you blessed our land.

Your love, a light that forever will burn,

A lesson in joy, at every turn.

Bridge

"Play safe and free, baby girl," our hearts still say,

"Mummy and Daddy will find you soon, someday."

We love you, Esme girl, with all our might,

Shining forever, a guiding light.

Instrumental - banjo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh Esme, our sweet girl, so small and grand,

For fourteen wonderful years, you blessed our land.

Your love, a light that forever will burn,

A lesson in joy, at every turn.

Outro

Now you're playing safe, in fields so green and wide,

With other loving friends, right by your side.

Running freely, waiting for my voice to call,

Until we're all together, standing strong and tall.

Esme, our sweet girl, run free until we meet.

Outro - guitar fade
