Piper

Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin

Verse 1

From the very first day, a German Shepherd's grace,

With long flowing hair, you set a joyful pace.

Running through the fields, a beautiful sight to see,

A spirit so wild, vibrant and free.

Too quickly you were gone, like a sudden fading light,

Taken by an illness, with all of your might.

But that first memory, it shines so very bright,

A beacon of your love, in the dark of night.

Chorus

Oh, Piper, our girl, for three short years you stayed,

A love so profound, a bond never to fade.

You filled our lives with sunshine, laughter and delight,

A star in our sky, burning ever so bright.

Verse 2

Between us in the bed, you'd find your cozy space,

A playful nudge, a smile upon your face.

Full of endless energy, always ready to play,

Chasing every moment, throughout the livelong day.

The happiest hello, when we walked through the door,

A wagging tail of joy, forever wanting more.

Those special moments live, deep within our hearts,

A masterpiece of love, played in many parts.

Chorus

Oh, Piper, our girl, for three short years you stayed,

A love so profound, a bond never to fade.

You filled our lives with sunshine, laughter and delight,

A star in our sky, burning ever so bright.

Bridge

We loved you so much, more than words can say,

Run and play ball now, in a brand new day.

With your other family dogs, where freedom will gleam,

Living out your endless, joyful dream.

Till we meet again, our beautiful little Piper,

Your spirit flies on, a soaring, gentle glider.

Instrumental - bright piano, drums

Final Chorus

Oh, Piper, our girl, for three short years you stayed,

A love so profound, a bond never to fade.

You filled our lives with sunshine, laughter and delight,

A star in our sky, burning ever so bright.

Outro

Your pain is now gone, though our pain remains here,

Running free and healthy, banishing all fear.

So beautiful, full of life, no longer weary,

Till we meet again, our loving little Piper.

Outro - guitar fade
