Arllo's Story
Arllo, a spirited German Shepherd, will always be remembered for his playful barks, whether dropping a Frisbee at your feet or faithfully waiting on the porch every lunchtime for his special game. He truly was the best boy, deeply loved by his family and his canine siblings. Though profoundly missed, Arllo is now at peace, and his memory inspires a longing for just one more game of ball.
— Remembered by Heidi
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, piano
Verse 1
I still recall the day we met, your eyes so keen and bright
A German Shepherd full of grace, a beacon in the light
You'd drop the frisbee at my feet, a bark to make me see
A silent plea for joyful chase, inviting me to play
Chorus
Oh, Arllo, my sweet Arllo, how the seasons softly flew
Nine precious years we walked as one, my loyal, loving you
Though tears may fall and hearts may ache, your spirit softly gleams
You're forever in my fondest thoughts, a star in all my dreams
Verse 2
When lunch hour came each working day, a clock within your soul
You’d wait right on the porch for me, making my spirit whole
Just a few minutes, swift and sweet, a stolen game of ball
You taught me joy in simple things, answering every call
Chorus
Oh, Arllo, my sweet Arllo, how the seasons softly flew
Nine precious years we walked as one, my loyal, loving you
Though tears may fall and hearts may ache, your spirit softly gleams
You're forever in my fondest thoughts, a star in all my dreams
Bridge
I whisper to the empty air, "You're the best Arllo ever, so good and true"
My heart still aches for just one touch, one last game played with you
How much I love you, precious boy, more than words can ever say
What I would give for one more toss, to lengthen just one day
Instrumental - cello, piano
Final Chorus
Oh, Arllo, my sweet Arllo, how the seasons softly flew
Nine precious years we walked as one, my loyal, loving you
Though tears may fall and hearts may ache, your spirit softly gleams
You're forever in my fondest thoughts, a star in all my dreams
Outro - piano fade, acoustic guitar
We cried for days, your siblings lost, your sister wonders where
But in my heart, I pray you're safe, with Jesus, free from care
Running fields of endless green, or softly sleeping, warm and deep
My sweet Arllo, forever yours, the promises I'll keep.
