Gracie

Intro - piano, cello

Verse 1

From the very first moment, a tiny heart so sweet

You found your place beside me, made my world complete

Right there in the bedsheets, a warm and soft embrace

You always had to snuggle, leaving joy in every space

My little Shih Tzu, with fur so soft and deep

You'd always be near me, while I would sleep

A silent promise, whispered in the air

You were the best little dog, beyond compare

Chorus

Oh, Gracie, dear Gracie, for nearly sixteen years, it's true

My very best little dog, my love so pure and new

Unconditional spirit, a joy to behold and keep

A beautiful devotion, remembered while I weep

My sweet companion, always by my side

With boundless affection, nowhere to hide

Verse 2

Every single moment, a treasure shining bright

You turned the everyday into pure delight

A constant little shadow, always close at hand

The best little doggie, across the land

You chased away the worries, with just a gentle sigh

A loyal, loving presence, beneath the sky

From morning's first light till the day was done

My heart always knew, you were the chosen one

Chorus

Oh, Gracie, dear Gracie, for nearly sixteen years, it's true

My very best little dog, my love so pure and new

Unconditional spirit, a joy to behold and keep

A beautiful devotion, remembered while I weep

My sweet companion, always by my side

With boundless affection, nowhere to hide

Verse 3

Through sunlit paths we wandered, or cozy by the fire

Your unconditional loving, fulfilling each desire

Each happy little moment, you made my spirit soar

And showed me true devotion, forever and much more

My faithful, sweet companion, a constant, gentle plea

Your heart always beside me, for all the world to see

Bridge

I love you so very much, my sweet, precious friend

The very best dog ever, right up to the end

I'm going to miss you, for the rest of my life's long days

Through every lone moment, in a thousand different ways

Your gentle spirit lingers, a comfort to my soul

Making my broken heart feel, somehow, whole

Instrumental - piano, harp

Final Chorus

Oh, Gracie, dear Gracie, for nearly sixteen years, it's true

My very best little dog, my love so pure and new

Unconditional spirit, a joy to behold and keep

A beautiful devotion, remembered while I weep

My sweet companion, always by my side

With boundless affection, nowhere to hide

Outro

Now my heart is with you, in heaven above

Bathed in the warmth of your endless love

Running freely through fields, or sleeping serene

My sweet little Gracie, a beautiful dream

Outro - piano fade
