Izzy

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From eight weeks old, a tiny, sweet delight

You came into my life, a pure and shining light

A Shih Tzu heart, the kindest I have known

Such deep affection, truly all your own

With doggy kisses, snuggled close at night

Upon the sofa pillow, bathed in soft moonlight

You loved each person, with a wagging tail

Your gentle spirit, could never ever fail

Chorus

Oh Izzy, my sweet girl, for seventeen years and more

You filled our home with love, from ceiling to the floor

Every memory a treasure, a comfort to recall

You gave your heart so freely, you truly gave your all

Verse 2

I'd wake to tiny paws, crawling up my bed

Morning kisses given, words were left unsaid

You wouldn't stop, a loving, soft demand

A paw upon my chest, a lick upon my hand

Your joyous greeting, every single day

Chased all the shadows, always kept them far away

A loyal friend, a spirit so profound

The sweetest presence, always to be found

Chorus

Oh Izzy, my sweet girl, for seventeen years and more

You filled our home with love, from ceiling to the floor

Every memory a treasure, a comfort to recall

You gave your heart so freely, you truly gave your all

Bridge

Now just three months shy of eighteen, you had to gently leave

And though my heart is broken, and for you I often grieve

I loved you all your life, from sunrise to the stars

And I will miss you for the rest of mine, beyond these earthly scars

Instrumental - cello, violin

Final Chorus

Oh Izzy, my sweet girl, for seventeen years and more

You filled our home with love, from ceiling to the floor

Every memory a treasure, a comfort to recall

You gave your heart so freely, you truly gave your all

Outro

Now you are playing with Mom, and Fenway, free and bright

Running through soft meadows, bathed in endless light

A gentle, peaceful slumber, dreams of sunlit skies

Forever in our hearts, behind our tear-filled eyes

Outro - piano fade
