Gunther

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The first light of morning, a perfect start to the day,

Your gentle demeanor would always light the way.

A loyal German Shepherd, with love beyond compare,

Your unconditional presence, always standing there.

Chorus

Oh, Gunther, our faithful friend, so strong and true,

Ten years, eleven months, a love that always grew.

From sunup to sundown, you were our guiding star,

No matter the journey, you were never far.

Verse 2

Those morning walks we cherished, by your side I'd stride,

And playtime by the pool yard, nowhere to hide.

Chasing after toys, with a joyous, happy bark,

Leaving paw prints on our hearts, forever left its mark.

Chorus

Oh, Gunther, our faithful friend, so strong and true,

Ten years, eleven months, a love that always grew.

From sunup to sundown, you were our guiding star,

No matter the journey, you were never far.

Bridge

Now run pain free, sweet boy, with your brothers on the wind,

Otto, Scruffy, Benjamin, and Baron, your journey will transcend.

Have everlasting life with your pack, in fields so green and wide,

We love you so, dear Gunther, always by our side.

Instrumental - mandolin, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Gunther, our faithful friend, so strong and true,

Ten years, eleven months, a love that always grew.

From sunup to sundown, you were our guiding star,

No matter the journey, you were never far.

Outro

Now running free with your boys, chasing shadows in the sun,

Your spirit shines eternal, your race forever run.

Outro - guitar fade
