Mr Burns

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

Helped deliver you into the world, a tiny life I held so dear,

With that biggest overbite, I knew my soulmate would be near.

You became my shadow, walking close by my side,

My therapist, confidant, in you I could confide.

Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Verse 2

At bedtime you would snuggle close, a comfort I still crave,

Your warmth beside me, soft and deep, a love no time can waive.

A mini fox terrier heart, so brave and full of might,

You filled my days with endless joy, and quiet, peaceful night.

Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Verse 3

The quiet moments we would share, a look that understood,

You knew my thoughts, my silent plea, as only a soul dog could.

Through every joy and every fear, your spirit was my guide,

With every step, my constant friend, forever by my side.

Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Verse 4

You loved your doggie mum and dad, and family all around,

With kindred spirits, big and small, no better joy was found.

I have new friends to share my home, they try to ease the ache,

But you, my soul dog, stand alone, a bond no one can break.

Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Verse 5

You loved to run and to explore, always wanting something new,

And fishing by my side, you’d grab the catch from my bucket, too.

Sniffing out all the fresh new smells, then checking I was well,

In the car upon the console, the world's stories you would tell.

Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Bridge

I'm so sorry, my beautiful boy, I didn't mean to hurt you that day,

I'll never forgive myself, no matter what I say.

I can't wait until we're reunited, until then, run free and bold,

Have the time of your life in the clouds, a story to unfold.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Mr Burns, my beautiful boy, it’s been three years we shared,

A love so true, beyond compare, a bond beyond repair.

My world turned grey the day you left, a pain I can’t outrun,

But in my heart, your light still shines, like the rising morning sun.

Outro

Now you're running with the pack in heaven, free and bright,

My dad and brothers watch you there, bathed in golden light.

Until I join you, my sweet friend, know that my love is true,

And you'll be waiting at the gates, my Mr Burns, for you.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade, soft harmonica
