Dexter's Story
Dexter's cherished morning click-clack nails and husky yawn, often accompanied by a "cushion present," were a warm start to each day. Those quiet 9 pm hours after the bedtime walk, just the two of you, were truly special, as he now runs freely on the Lytham sand dunes with Bradley and Bella.
— Remembered by Sharon
Lyrics
Intro - piano, synth pad
Verse 1
A click clack of your nails upon the living room floor
A soft husky yawn, a welcome I adored
That cushion as a present, delivered to my feet
The simplest of mornings, always bittersweet
Chorus
Oh, Dexter, my dear boy, for twelve years and two months through
My world was always brighter, because I had you
Your paw print on my heart, forever etched so deep
A silent, loving promise, I will always keep
Verse 2
When the house grew quiet, everybody in their bed
After our last walk, unspoken words were said
Nine PM, our special hour, a secret just for two
Whispering dreams together, just me and you
Chorus
Oh, Dexter, my dear boy, for twelve years and two months through
My world was always brighter, because I had you
Your paw print on my heart, forever etched so deep
A silent, loving promise, I will always keep
Bridge
My beautiful boy, you're free from all the pain
Thank you for being there, through sunshine and through rain
I love you so much, my constant, faithful friend
Our bond of pure devotion, will never truly end
Instrumental - acoustic guitar, piano
Final Chorus
Oh, Dexter, my dear boy, for twelve years and two months through
My world was always brighter, because I had you
Your paw print on my heart, forever etched so deep
A silent, loving promise, I will always keep
Outro
Now I see you running, on Lytham's golden sand
With Bradley and with Bella, a joyful, happy band
Chasing sunlit waves, forever young and bright
Sleeping peacefully now, bathed in endless light
Outro - piano fade
