Tucker

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I recall the thump of your tail, a morning sweet sound

A happy greeting as you woke and bounced around

That little stomp you'd do, waiting by the lake

For every joyous splash that you were bound to make

Your velvet soft ears, a comfort in my hand

The warmest yellow coat, best friend in all the land

A Labrador's pure heart, so loyal and so true

My world was brighter, Tucker, just because of you.

Chorus

Oh, Tucker, my sweet boy, thirteen years we knew

A golden light you cast, in everything you'd do

Now you're running free, a spirit wild and bold

A story in my heart, more precious than pure gold.

Verse 2

Those late afternoons, a ball tossed to the sky

You'd bring it back with joy, beneath my loving eye

No bunny could escape your watchful, playful bark

A chase through sunlit fields, leaving its happy mark

You loved the water, friend, a natural, fearless leap

Promises of joy, your happy heart would keep

Every memory shines, a moment clear and bright

You filled our quiet home with laughter and with light.

Chorus

Oh, Tucker, my sweet boy, thirteen years we knew

A golden light you cast, in everything you'd do

Now you're running free, a spirit wild and bold

A story in my heart, more precious than pure gold.

Verse 3

You were my soul dog, gentle, kind, and true

My heart found solace, always safe with you

That perfect 'lab lean', a comfort close to mine

Lost in your brown eyes, a love so pure, divine

A friend to every soul, you met along the way

Brightening up their world, each and every day

Brave to the very last, you faced it without fear

Your spirit shining bright, though you are no longer here.

Bridge

With tears in my eyes, a final whisper I sent

"Run fast, jump big, have fun! I love you Tuckie!" heaven-sent

My love will follow you, wherever you may roam

You'll always have a place, right here within my home.

Harmonica solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Tucker, my sweet boy, thirteen years we knew

A golden light you cast, in everything you'd do

Now you're running free, a spirit wild and bold

A story in my heart, more precious than pure gold.

Outro - guitar fade

Now you're running through the woods, a leap off the dock so grand

Chasing your ball forever, across a golden land

Peaceful slumber now, after all your joyful play

In every sunbeam, Tucker, you'll be with me everyday.
