Sam

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

It's the last light of a Sunday, you're lying by my side,

Curled up in your favorite place, where peace and love reside.

I feel the rhythm of your breathing, warm against my soul,

As the sunset paints the window, somehow making me feel whole.

You lift your head so gently, take in the evening sky,

Your little squeaky toy beside you, never asking why.

I've filled our home with gifts for you, more than I could name,

Just hoping you'd always know how deeply loved you came.

Chorus

Oh Sam, my boy, my faithful friend,

My heart was yours from start to end.

You taught me love that asks for nothing,

Only gives and keeps on giving.

Through every mile, through joy and pain,

I'd choose this life with you again.

Until the next adventure calls your name...

I'll love you just the same.

Verse 2

I thought I knew what love could be before you changed my heart,

But you showed me unconditional was where true love would start.

A brave and noble fighter, standing tall though you were small,

Like David facing giants, never backing down at all.

You waited there so patiently through every working day,

Just a TV keeping company until I'd find my way.

We'd share mid-day cuddles on the couch, a peaceful, sweet embrace,

Then step outside to watch you smell the flowers in your special place.

Chorus

Oh Sam, my boy, my faithful friend,

My heart was yours from start to end.

You taught me love that asks for nothing,

Only gives and keeps on giving.

Through every mile, through joy and pain,

I'd choose this life with you again.

Until the next adventure calls your name...

I'll love you just the same.

Verse 3

For fifteen years, your quiet presence, a comfort deep and true,

Through changing times and seasons, my world revolved round you.

That first adventure, a promise given, 'til the next one we would find,

A bond woven through the years, a precious, loving kind.

You knew my every worry, though no words you ever spoke,

My softest, steadfast guardian, easing every yoke.

A love so pure and so unwavering, beyond all human ken,

I’d choose those fifteen years with you, again and yet again.

Bridge

We both grew older side by side, our footsteps growing slow,

Keeping warm on winter evenings with nowhere else to go.

The holidays were brighter just because you were around,

Even when we both were stubborn, true love was always found.

And in that quiet whisper, I knew it from the start,

Oh Sam, my sweet companion, you are, and always were, my heart.

Guitar Solo - harmonica lead

Final Chorus

Oh Sam, my boy, you'll always be

The greatest gift God gave to me.

Every cuddle, every journey,

Every memory shines forever.

Though saying goodbye breaks my heart,

No goodbye can keep us apart.

Side by side through time and space we'll stand...

Until the next adventure...

I'll see you there, my friend.

Outro

So rest now, sweetie boy, beneath a sky of endless blue.

I see you sunbathing on the floor, a golden light on you.

Thank you for every moment... for simply being you.

I'll carry you in every sunrise, every quiet prayer above.

'Til the next adventure, Sam...

Forever wrapped in love.
