Bruce

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

Every day, as the sun would dip low,

You were waiting right there, a familiar glow.

At the front door, a Boxer's strong stance,

Always ready with a welcoming dance.

Thirteen years, a faithful, true friend,

My workday's finish, a happy, warm end.

No matter the weather, no matter the stress,

Your presence brought only pure happiness.

Chorus

Oh, Bruce, my beautiful boy, it's true,

Thirteen great years, I spent with you.

A loyal heart, a spirit so bright,

You filled my world with pure love and light.

Verse 2

Our walks down the river, a path we both knew,

Your favorite spot where you'd splash and get through.

Play fighting and wrestling, a joyful rough play,

Then cuddling in bed at the close of the day.

Before sleep would take us, so warm and so near,

Chasing away every worry and fear.

A special connection, a bond deep and wide,

Forever my companion, right by my side.

Chorus

Oh, Bruce, my beautiful boy, it's true,

Thirteen great years, I spent with you.

A loyal heart, a spirit so bright,

You filled my world with pure love and light.

Bridge

I loved you more than words could ever convey,

You were the best dog, in every single way.

You got me through hard times, my steadfast guide,

And a hole in my life, your passing has carved deep inside.

I gave you my best life, cherished and pure,

And your precious memories will always endure.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Bruce, my beautiful boy, it's true,

Thirteen great years, I spent with you.

A loyal heart, a spirit so bright,

You filled my world with pure love and light.

Oh, Bruce, my beautiful boy, it's true,

Thirteen great years, I spent with you.

A loyal heart, a spirit so bright,

You filled my world with pure love and light.

Outro

Now you're running free, where green grasses grow,

Endless treats waiting, a joyful, sweet flow.

Rolling around, without sorrow or pain,

Until we meet, my beautiful boy, again.

Outro - guitar fade
