Zoey

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

A little schnauzer, a shadow so true,

Always beside me, in all I went through.

My sorrow, my pain, you never would leave,

In your gentle presence, my heart found reprieve.

You slept by my side, each night, day, and year,

Always knowing when home or work was so near.

Chorus

Oh, Zoey, my darling, my faithful dear friend,

Fifteen and a half years, right to the end.

A love so pure, a spirit so bright,

My comforting star, my guiding pure light.

Verse 2

From morning's first light to the stillness of night,

Our snuggles together, a cherished delight.

Through three bouts of cancer, you fought with such grace,

Even my own sickness, you met with soft face.

Your tiny head resting, a quiet, soft purr,

Every sweet moment, a memory for her.

Chorus

Oh, Zoey, my darling, my faithful dear friend,

Fifteen and a half years, right to the end.

A love so pure, a spirit so bright,

My comforting star, my guiding pure light.

Bridge

The choice that I made, it still weighs on my soul,

But your pain was too great, beyond my control.

My everything, Zoey, I love you so much,

Not a day goes by, I don't long for your touch.

I miss you so dearly, my heart feels the ache,

For your gentle presence, for goodness sake.

Instrumental - strings, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Zoey, my darling, my faithful dear friend,

Fifteen and a half years, right to the end.

A love so pure, a spirit so bright,

My comforting star, my guiding pure light.

Outro

Now happy and free, beyond earthly pain,

A guardian angel, a soft, gentle rain.

I know that you knew, my love was so deep,

In sweet peaceful slumber, my Zoey can sleep.

Outro - piano fade, chimes
