Saya

Intro - ukulele, light percussion

Verse 1

I remember when I walked through the door

A wagging tail always wanting more

You were waiting there, so eager and bright

My sweet Shepherd, a joyful sight

For an adventure, you were always keen

A dog park, a walk, or a beach scene

Mellow and open, up for anything

A gentle nuzzle, when my heart would sting

Chorus

Oh, Saya, my girl, for thirteen long years

You chased away shadows, and dried all my tears

A light in my life, so pure and so true

A love like no other, I found it in you

Verse 2

Those morning trips, to the dog park we'd go

A social butterfly, putting on a show

Making friends with every dog and person there

A joyful spirit beyond compare

If you were human, they'd say you lit up a room

Chasing away every bit of gloom

Never a stranger, just a friend you hadn't met

The brightest star in my sky, my sweet pet

Chorus

Oh, Saya, my girl, for thirteen long years

You chased away shadows, and dried all my tears

A light in my life, so pure and so true

A love like no other, I found it in you

Bridge

I love you and I miss you so dang much, it's true

I hope when it's my time, I'll be greeted by you

To hug you one last time, that's my dearest plea

Until then, my sweet girl, watch over me

Instrumental - ukulele, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Saya, my girl, for thirteen long years

You chased away shadows, and dried all my tears

A light in my life, so pure and so true

A love like no other, I found it in you

Outro

Now you're running free, with joy in your stride

Retrieving balls from the water, nowhere to hide

With three tennis balls, crammed in your mouth, oh my

That puppy energy, reaching for the sky

Forever in the sun, my best friend, my dear

Always in my heart, keeping your memory near

Ukulele fade
