Scout

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the moment that we met, my little Yorkie friend

You watched me with those loving eyes until the very end

You’d make sure I was always near, no matter where I’d roam

My shadow and my closest confidant, you made my heart your home

We shared my chair at work each day, a bond so sweet and true

And even to the movie show, I always went with you

I loved your joyful little kisses, gladly gave them back

My loyal, sweet companion, always on my track.

Chorus

Oh, Scout, my precious friend, for eleven cherished years

We faced the world together, drying all my tears

"Me and you, you and me," I'd lovingly declare

A soulmate's gentle promise, beyond compare.

Verse 2

Each time I’d walk back through the door, my heart would simply race

Your wiggling body, wagging tail, a smile upon your face

We couldn't wait to see each other, such pure delight and glee

A gentle, loving soul you were, for all the world to see

I'd whisper, "Scout, let's be independent, together, you and I"

Knowing I depended just as much beneath the sky

You were truly my soulmate, a love I’d never known

The deepest kind of affection, into my heart you’d grown.

Chorus

Oh, Scout, my precious friend, for eleven cherished years

We faced the world together, drying all my tears

"Me and you, you and me," I'd lovingly declare

A soulmate's gentle promise, beyond compare.

Bridge

Your soul, the most beautiful part, a spirit pure and bright

"I love you best friend, I miss you deeply," through the day and night

"Please wait for me, I will find you," beyond the open door

"And we will cross that Rainbow Bridge together, never apart anymore."

"I will never leave your side, that I promise," true and clear

Until that day we reunite, my love, my dear.

Instrumental - cello, French horn

Final Chorus

Oh, Scout, my precious friend, for eleven cherished years

We faced the world together, drying all my tears

"Me and you, you and me," I'd lovingly declare

A soulmate's gentle promise, beyond compare.

Outro - piano fade, strings

Now running free in endless fields, of grass and flowers tall

The sun upon your tiny back, answering freedom's call

Just like the speedy puppy you once were, so proud and bright

My sweet Scout, I'll hold you close, within my heart's pure light.
