Max

Orchestral intro - strings, piano

Verse 1

A loyal heart, a spirit keen and bright,

A Border Collie, full of loving light.

You sensed my sadness, knew my silent plea,

Always there to bring your warmth to me.

With gentle nudges, you would understand,

The softest comfort, always close at hand.

A quiet guardian, true in every way,

Chasing shadows from my darkest day.

Chorus

Max, my faithful shadow, strong and true,

Thirteen precious years I walked with you.

A bond unbroken, deep and pure and vast,

Memories of you will forever last.

Verse 2

Through weary hours, long and far apart,

You waited patiently, a loving heart.

Always at the door, a joyful sight to see,

Returning home, you were there for me.

And in the quiet moments, soft and deep,

Watching you with felines, fast asleep.

A gentle soul, for every creature kind,

A tender spirit, one of a rare find.

Chorus

Max, my faithful shadow, strong and true,

Thirteen precious years I walked with you.

A bond unbroken, deep and pure and vast,

Memories of you will forever last.

Verse 3

The silent moments, filled with joy you brought,

Every lesson of pure love you taught.

With every wagging tail, a happy greeting,

My heart would lift, with every joyful meeting.

Your gentle spirit, watching over all,

Responding always to my heartfelt call.

A faithful friend, through sun and pouring rain,

Easing every sorrow, every pain.

Bridge

My dearest Max, I love you more than anything,

You were always there for me, my heart could sing.

And I loved you the same way, with all my might,

You filled my world with joy and endless light.

Instrumental - strings, piano

Final Chorus

Max, my faithful shadow, strong and true,

Thirteen precious years I walked with you.

A bond unbroken, deep and pure and vast,

Memories of you will forever last.

Outro

Now running free, no limp, no heavy stride,

Across the fields, with nothing left to hide.

Run Max and play, my sweet, beloved friend,

My love and missing you will never end.
