Clipper's Story
The soft ting-ting-ting of Clipper's bear bell often heralded his gentle saunter, a quiet padding like an old man's slippers down the aisle. He might have hesitated to leave the familiar farm, but the promise of the barn and a whispered "Biscuit" always brought him eagerly to the van, ready for the next adventure. Now, Clipper runs with fleetness through fields of spring hay, joyfully keeping pace with Summer and Winston.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
I close my eyes and hear the sound, a memory I hold so dear,
The 'ting ting ting' of your bear bell, whispering softly in my ear.
Like old man's slippers, you would saunter, down the aisle, so slow and grand,
A gentle giant, my sweet Newfoundland, the best friend in the land.
Chorus
Oh, Clipper, my dear boy, twelve years flew by like a gentle breeze,
You taught me love, you brought me joy, you brought my heart to ease.
Though silence fills the empty space, your spirit still shines bright,
Your memory, a warm embrace, a never-ending light.
Verse 2
You'd hesitate to leave the farm, a soulful look within your eyes,
But oh, the joy to see the barn, beneath the wide and endless skies.
You'd jump into the van with glee, knowing home was just a ride away,
A loyal heart, wild and free, brightening every single day.
Chorus
Oh, Clipper, my dear boy, twelve years flew by like a gentle breeze,
You taught me love, you brought me joy, you brought my heart to ease.
Though silence fills the empty space, your spirit still shines bright,
Your memory, a warm embrace, a never-ending light.
Bridge
Just one sweet word, a special plea, to call you back, you'd always hear,
"Biscuit," I'd whisper, just for thee, and all my worries disappear.
A simple word, a sacred bond, a promise whispered, soft and low,
My faithful friend, beyond, beyond, the truest love I'll ever know.
Instrumental - harmonica solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Clipper, my dear boy, twelve years flew by like a gentle breeze,
You taught me love, you brought me joy, you brought my heart to ease.
Though silence fills the empty space, your spirit still shines bright,
Your memory, a warm embrace, a never-ending light.
Outro
Now you're running, fast and free, with Summer, Winston, side by side,
Through fields of spring hay, wild and glee, where endless happiness can hide.
My Clipper, rest in joyful peace, your spirit soaring, light and strong,
Until we meet, my love's release, where you truly belong.
Outro - guitar fade
