Sully

Intro - acoustic guitar, pedal steel

Verse 1

A giant heart, a gentle soul, a fur so soft and deep,

Your watchful eyes, they held me whole, secrets you would keep.

You'd see me go, a mournful sigh, when I walked out the door,

But truck time came, your spirits high, paws reaching for no more.

You'd leap so close, a happy sound, with front paws, waiting there,

For me to lift you off the ground, a bond beyond compare.

Chorus

Oh, Sully, my dear Bernese boy, a faithful, loving friend,

Three years of comfort, warmth, and joy, that now has reached its end.

But in my heart, you'll always stay, a love so pure and true,

Each memory guides my way, a constant thought of you.

Verse 2

Five AM, the day would break, your gentle nudging near,

A morning ritual for our sake, dispelling every fear.

Those loving words, I’d whisper low, "Best boy in all the world,"

Then breakfast served, a happy glow, your furry flag unfurled.

You listened close, understood, each word that I would say,

A perfect morning, understood, you brightened up my day.

Chorus

Oh, Sully, my dear Bernese boy, a faithful, loving friend,

Three years of comfort, warmth, and joy, that now has reached its end.

But in my heart, you'll always stay, a love so pure and true,

Each memory guides my way, a constant thought of you.

Verse 3

No matter where my path would lead, through every passing hour,

Your loyal heart, a constant deed, a quiet, gentle power.

Your knowing gaze, it followed mine, across the room, so deep,

A silent promise, so divine, the secrets you would keep.

The softest fur, a comforting touch, a presence warm and true,

Oh, Sully boy, I loved so much, the simple joy of you.

Bridge

Though empty now, the space you filled, a quiet in the air,

A love like ours can't ever be killed, beyond all earthly care.

You'll always be my baby boy, always and forever, it's true,

We will be together again, my joy, my Sully, me and you.

Guitar Solo - acoustic guitar, pedal steel

Final Chorus

Oh, Sully, my dear Bernese boy, a faithful, loving friend,

Three years of comfort, warmth, and joy, that now has reached its end.

But in my heart, you'll always stay, a love so pure and true,

Each memory guides my way, a constant thought of you.

Outro

Now running free in deep, white snow, a boundless, joyful stride,

Then laying down, to watch the glow, with nothing left to hide.

A moment's peace, a happy glance, then up you bound to play,

My Sully, dancing in the expanse, forever and a day.
