Ruby stone

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

At the garden gate, a fluffy white sight,

You'd bark your sweet greeting with all of your might.

A tiny Bichon, with a heart so true,

You'd tell me you loved me, in ways only you do.

Your happy bark echoed, a joyous sound,

The sweetest hello, the best friend I'd found.

From the car, I'd see you, a welcoming plea,

Waiting so patiently, just for little me.

Chorus

Oh, Ruby Stone, my precious, dear friend,

Fourteen years of love, till the very end.

A part of my soul, forever you'll be,

My heart still aches deeply, for you and for me.

Verse 2

When twilight arrived, and day drew to close,

You'd nestle so softly, and quietly doze.

My special bedtime, your happy place near,

Content in your spot, chasing away fear.

So peaceful and happy, a warm, gentle sigh,

Beneath softest blankets, as moments went by.

That quiet contentment, a treasure untold,

A story of comfort, more precious than gold.

Chorus

Oh, Ruby Stone, my precious, dear friend,

Fourteen years of love, till the very end.

A part of my soul, forever you'll be,

My heart still aches deeply, for you and for me.

Bridge

I loved you from the moment my eyes met your gaze,

Through all of our sunshine, through all of our days.

Till the very last moment, my love stayed with you,

Now my heart's broken, so lonely and blue.

I miss you more than life, a truth I must bear,

A silent companion, no longer right there.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Ruby Stone, my precious, dear friend,

Fourteen years of love, till the very end.

A part of my soul, forever you'll be,

My heart still aches deeply, for you and for me.

Outro

I hope you can see me, wherever you roam,

My sweet little Ruby, forever my home.

Resting so gently, on clouds soft and deep,

Or running in meadows, in slumber you sleep.

Outro - piano fade
