Baloo

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The click-clack sound upon the kitchen floor

Your happy paws, then you were out the door

I'd chase you 'round, a game we always played

A joyful memory, in my heart it stayed

You'd jump in joy, and lick my face so sweet

My loyal friend, with happy, wagging feet

A Labrador's love, so boundless and so true

My heart was captured, Baloo, right by you

Chorus

Oh, Baloo, my boy, my truest, faithful friend

Seven years of joy, right to the very end

You filled my days with sunshine, love, and grace

A smile now hides a tear upon my face

Verse 2

At six AM, we'd walk the field, come rain or sun

Our quiet ritual, a brand new day begun

Through dewy grass, your spirit running free

Just you and I, a perfect company

Then nine PM, the door would finally creak

Your happy barks, the joy you couldn't speak

You'd watch me close, just waiting for a hug

My weary heart would feel your endless tug

Chorus

Oh, Baloo, my boy, my truest, faithful friend

Seven years of joy, right to the very end

You filled my days with sunshine, love, and grace

A smile now hides a tear upon my face

Bridge

A whisper now, that echoes in the air

I'm sorry, Baloo, for what I couldn't share

Not everything you deserved, I could not give

But in my heart, your memory will live

I miss you dearly, my boy, beyond all words

Your loyal spirit, singing with the birds

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar, upright bass

Final Chorus

Oh, Baloo, my boy, my truest, faithful friend

Seven years of joy, right to the very end

You filled my days with sunshine, love, and grace

A smile now hides a tear upon my face

Outro

Now in the fields, you chase the pheasant's flight

Like a bullet shot, a flash of pure delight

I feel you watching, over my shoulder near

Rubbing your face against my leg, so clear

Run free, my Baloo, where no shadows fall

I hear your spirit answer to my call

Outro - acoustic guitar fade, harmonica
