Joey

Intro - orchestral strings, piano

Verse 1

The quiet click of the turning key,

And there you'd be, waiting for me.

A blur of fur, a joyful sound,

The happiest dog to be found.

Your terrier heart, so pure and true,

My loyal friend, always knew.

That wagging tail, a welcome sign,

A love like yours, so truly mine.

Chorus

Oh, Joey, sweet Joey, our love runs so deep,

Through sixteen wonderful years, memories to keep.

You taught me so much, how to truly just be,

A part of my heart, forever with me.

Verse 2

After a long and busy day,

We'd find our spot, without delay.

On the couch, side by side,

Watching TV, nowhere to hide.

Your gentle presence, soft and warm,

Protecting me from any storm.

A silent comfort, close at hand,

The best companion in the land.

Chorus

Oh, Joey, sweet Joey, our love runs so deep,

Through sixteen wonderful years, memories to keep.

You taught me so much, how to truly just be,

A part of my heart, forever with me.

Bridge

Now you've crossed over, beyond the blue sky,

With grandpa you rest, no need to cry.

Take care of him there, 'til I join you too,

Waiting for me, a reunion anew.

Instrumental - strings, oboe

Final Chorus

Oh, Joey, sweet Joey, our love runs so deep,

Through sixteen wonderful years, memories to keep.

You taught me so much, how to truly just be,

A part of my heart, forever with me.

Outro

In heaven with grandpa, you're free and you roam,

Running through fields, you've found your new home.

Peaceful and happy, beneath golden light,

My sweet Joey, shining ever so bright.

Outro - piano fade
