Chance

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

The day we met, a little pup, with eyes so bright and keen,

An Aussie mix, so full of life, the best I'd ever seen.

You stood beside me, strong and true, through every passing day,

"My protector, my beautiful boy," in every single way.

Chorus

Oh, Chance, my dear Chance, thirteen and a half years we shared,

A bond of love, beyond compare, a lifetime deeply cared.

Though tears may fall, my heart remembers every joyful sound,

The sweetest boy, the best of friends, forever you'll be found.

Verse 2

No matter how my day had been, or burdens I would bear,

You'd meet me at the door each time, with not a single care.

A wagging tail, a happy bark, a nudge against my hand,

The purest love, a gentle soul, across this loving land.

Chorus

Oh, Chance, my dear Chance, thirteen and a half years we shared,

A bond of love, beyond compare, a lifetime deeply cared.

Though tears may fall, my heart remembers every joyful sound,

The sweetest boy, the best of friends, forever you'll be found.

Bridge

As stillness came and shadows fell, I whispered soft and low,

"Be pain free, go find Oreo," where gentle breezes blow.

"Run free together," side by side, across the golden plains,

Released from hurt, from earthly ties, where only joy remains.

Instrumental - strings, piano, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Chance, my dear Chance, thirteen and a half years we shared,

A bond of love, beyond compare, a lifetime deeply cared.

Though tears may fall, my heart remembers every joyful sound,

The sweetest boy, the best of friends, forever you'll be found.

Outro

Now you're running free and playing, with a squeaky toy in hand,

Beyond the stars, across the sky, in a boundless, happy land.

A spirit soaring, light and pure, no longer bound by pain,

Until we meet again, sweet boy, until we meet again.

Outro - strings fade, piano sustains
