Django

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano, strings

Verse 1

I remember the first time, a small shadow near,

Curled up close beside me, chasing away fear.

Your head against my chest, a feeling so deep,

A cherished memory, my heart will always keep.

The best boy, loved by all, a gentle, loyal friend,

A soft scratch on my door, till your walk would begin.

A quiet whimper calling, a signal so clear,

For the morning adventure, with you always near.

Chorus

Oh, Django, my dear boy, for fourteen precious years,

You walked beside me, through laughter and through tears.

A golden ray of comfort, steady and so true,

My constant companion, I'll always remember you.

Verse 2

Our daily walk to Starbucks, a ritual we'd share,

In busy DC streets or the Soho morning air.

The Barnstable all knew you, a welcome sight indeed,

Waiting at the entrance, planting a hopeful seed.

If I left you outside, tied to a sturdy tree,

Your brown eyes would stare in, just waiting for me.

And if I took too long, a small tug and a sigh,

You'd chew your leash gently, beneath the open sky.

Chorus

Oh, Django, my dear boy, for fourteen precious years,

You walked beside me, through laughter and through tears.

A golden ray of comfort, steady and so true,

My constant companion, I'll always remember you.

Verse 3

Your gentle soul, dear Django, touched every heart you knew,

The kindness in your spirit, shone brightly, strong, and true.

You welcomed every stranger, with quiet, calm embrace,

And filled each shared moment, with warmth in every space.

Through life's unfolding chapters, your presence ever near,

You'd chase away the worries, and quiet every fear.

My steadfast, loving anchor, through seasons long and deep,

The truest, best companion, my heart will always keep.

Bridge

Thank you, my sweet friend, for every single day,

Through good times and through bad, you showed me the way.

New homes and new neighbors, through cities we would roam,

You were the constant anchor, that made everywhere feel like home.

I miss you, buddy, more than words can truly say,

You were absolutely perfect, in every single way.

Instrumental - strings, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Django, my dear boy, for fourteen precious years,

You walked beside me, through laughter and through tears.

A golden ray of comfort, steady and so true,

My constant companion, I'll always remember you.

Outro

You loved the warmth of sunlight, a bright and happy scene,

Now curled up in a sunbeam, peaceful and serene.

Outro - cello fade
