Chester's Story
Chester, the sweet Border collie, was a loyal companion who always found his spot at the bottom of the bed each night. Every morning around 9 or 10, he eagerly set out with his dear friend Wesley, the German Shepherd, for a walk up their field road. Now, he runs free and pain-free in a beautiful meadow, no longer troubled by seizures, forever cherished as a sweet boy.
— Remembered by Marthie
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin
Verse 1
From the start, a loyal heart, a shadow by my side,
A handsome collie, keen and smart, nowhere left to hide.
Each evening as the stars would gleam, you'd find your favored place,
At the bottom of my bed, a smile upon my face.
You'd settle softly on the floor, a comforting sound,
Guarding dreams behind the door, the best dog I had found.
Chorus
Oh, Chester, sweet Chester, for ten wonderful years,
You filled our lives with laughter, and chased away our fears.
A heart so full of sunshine, a spirit pure and free,
Forever grateful for your time, a cherished memory.
Verse 2
Around nine or ten, the morning call, a ritual we knew,
Our journey up the field road, me, Wesley, and you.
With paws that danced upon the ground, a happy, eager gait,
A joy in every sound, sealing our special fate.
Along the path, we'd watch the day, a friendship strong and true,
Chasing worries far away, just me, my boys, and you.
Chorus
Oh, Chester, sweet Chester, for ten wonderful years,
You filled our lives with laughter, and chased away our fears.
A heart so full of sunshine, a spirit pure and free,
Forever grateful for your time, a cherished memory.
Bridge
Now whispers carry on the breeze, a love that won't depart,
Through changing seasons, through the trees, forever in my heart.
I love you always, my sweet boy, your spirit will remain,
A constant source of purest joy, easing all my pain.
Instrumental - mandolin, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Chester, sweet Chester, for ten wonderful years,
You filled our lives with laughter, and chased away our fears.
A heart so full of sunshine, a spirit pure and free,
Forever grateful for your time, a cherished memory.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
Now running free, a graceful sight, across a boundless land,
In a meadow, bathed in light, where pain cannot demand.
No more seizures, no more fear, just endless, happy play,
My sweet boy, always near, chasing clouds away.
