Bailey

Intro - Rhodes piano, soft strings

Verse 1

A gentle poodle, so grand and so bright,

Your presence filled our world with pure light.

I remember the joy, clear as the day,

In the golf cart beside me, we'd gently play.

You'd sit like a king, with a dignified stare,

Not a worry or shadow, just peace in the air.

Those moments with you, a sweet memory to hold,

A story of love, more precious than gold.

Chorus

Oh Bailey, my Bailey, how time slipped away,

Fourteen years of the best, from night into day.

A loyal heart beating, a friend ever true,

My sweet Bailey, I’ll always miss you.

Verse 2

I'd pull in the driveway, your face at the gate,

Patiently watching, never too late.

You'd wait for my finish, through yard work or rain,

A faithful companion, easing all pain.

Your soft, knowing eyes, a comfort to see,

The most loyal friend you could ever be.

Always beside me, through every turn,

A love like your own, forever I'll yearn.

Chorus

Oh Bailey, my Bailey, how time slipped away,

Fourteen years of the best, from night into day.

A loyal heart beating, a friend ever true,

My sweet Bailey, I’ll always miss you.

Bridge

Now you're free, my sweet boy, running wild and so bold,

Hunting the chipmunks, a story untold.

And when you are done, with your joyful heart free,

We'll nap in the afternoon sun, just you and me.

Instrumental - soft strings, nylon guitar

Final Chorus

Oh Bailey, my Bailey, how time slipped away,

Fourteen years of the best, from night into day.

A loyal heart beating, a friend ever true,

My sweet Bailey, I’ll always miss you.

Outro

Now running free, with no more pain in your stride,

Across golden fields, where soft breezes ride.

My heart holds you close, till that beautiful day,

When reunited, forever we'll stay.

Outro - Rhodes piano fade
