Max

Acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember the first time, a tiny playful bark

A little sneeze with so much sass, leaving its special mark

When I'd catch you playing dumb, your antics would appear

A small dog's big personality, banishing every fear.

Chorus

Oh, Max, my constant shadow, a faithful heart so true

For twelve unforgettable years, my world was built on you

A tiny friend with spirit bright, a love that knew no end

My dearest Max, my loyal boy, my precious little friend.

Verse 2

From morning light to setting sun, you were right by my side

Everywhere my footsteps led, you'd follow with such pride

A silent presence, always near, a comfort I could feel

Our bond was something precious, pure, immensely strong and real.

Chorus

Oh, Max, my constant shadow, a faithful heart so true

For twelve unforgettable years, my world was built on you

A tiny friend with spirit bright, a love that knew no end

My dearest Max, my loyal boy, my precious little friend.

Verse 3

He'd play so dumb for belly rubs, but in his eyes I'd see

The clever mind behind the mask, so smart and quick and free

He'd whine and pace for Grandpa's door, a happy, eager sound

Then press his body, just for love, the dearest dog around.

Bridge

The quiet whispered promise, carried on the breeze

Go wait for me, my sweet Max, amongst the rustling trees

For I will be next to you always, our spirits intertwined

A love like ours can never fade, true peace we'll always find.

Instrumental

Mandolin solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Max, my constant shadow, a faithful heart so true

For twelve unforgettable years, my world was built on you

A tiny friend with spirit bright, a love that knew no end

My dearest Max, my loyal boy, my precious little friend.

Outro

I feel you here beside me, in the passenger seat

As I drive down the open road, our journey still complete

Rest easy now, my precious boy, peaceful and at home
