Layla

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

First I remember your tiny tongue's soft kiss

A little bark for the ball, you wouldn't ever miss.

Underneath the furniture, you'd make your stand

A fierce little guardian, with courage close at hand.

A spirited Yorkie, with a feisty, sweet way

You filled every moment of every single day.

With your playful spirit and your loving gaze

We cherished your presence through all of life's maze.

Chorus

Oh, Layla, our sweet girl, so small and so grand

For fifteen short years, you blessed this land.

You made my heart full, my forever baby, so true

My love will be with you, in all that I do.

Verse 2

When the day was done, and the house grew still

You'd climb your ramp, with a loving will.

Snuggled so close between us, a comforting sigh

My husband and I, beneath the night sky.

Your little head resting, a quiet, deep peace

Bringing all of our worries and our spirits release.

A perfect moment, a bond understood

More than a pet, you were family, so good.

Chorus

Oh, Layla, our sweet girl, so small and so grand

For fifteen short years, you blessed this land.

You made my heart full, my forever baby, so true

My love will be with you, in all that I do.

Bridge

You were my forever baby, that much is true

Every moment with you, my heart grew and grew.

I love you forever, my dear, precious friend

A love like ours, it will never truly end.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, piano, cello

Final Chorus

Oh, Layla, our sweet girl, so small and so grand

For fifteen short years, you blessed this land.

You made my heart full, my forever baby, so true

My love will be with you, in all that I do.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade, soft hum

Now I see you running, with a super ball in tow

Next to Bruiser and Jersey, in a peaceful glow.

Free and joyful, beneath heavens wide

Our sweet Layla, forever by our side.
