Gracie's Story
Gracie, a sweet rescue Rat Terrier with soft ears, was cherished for her gentle kisses and the little smile she gave when held like a baby in loving arms. Whether chasing squirrels and bunnies with whippet-like speed or perking up at the tap of a kitchen spoon, her joyful spirit made every beach and lake trip unforgettable. Her sweet 16th birthday was a testament to the years of unconditional love and laughter she brought, forever held in the hearts of her family.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, piano
Verse 1
I remember those soft ears, a sweet spirit true
Fit in my arms like a baby, a perfect size for you
You ran like a whippet, so fast and full of grace
Chasing all the squirrels, a smile upon your face
My best friend, always with me, home every single day
Your head popped up so quickly, when I’d tap a spoon and play
Oh, the memories we made, sunshine and happy hours
You filled my world with joy, like a field of blooming flowers.
Chorus
Oh Gracie, my sweet girl, my love for seventeen years plus
You taught us so much joy, and unconditional trust
Your paw prints on my heart, they will forever stay
I miss you more than words, each and every day.
Verse 2
I held you in my arms, a moment soft and deep
You'd kiss my hands and face, secrets you would keep
That little smile you gave me, when I'd whisper in your ear
Now beach and lake trips feel so empty, knowing you're not near
We had your sweet sixteen, a party bright and bold
A lifetime full of stories, more precious than pure gold
This grief runs deep inside me, a sorrow hard to bear
But your love still surrounds me, a comfort in the air.
Chorus
Oh Gracie, my sweet girl, my love for seventeen years plus
You taught us so much joy, and unconditional trust
Your paw prints on my heart, they will forever stay
I miss you more than words, each and every day.
Bridge
Letting you go, the hardest thing I've ever known
You filled our lives with laughter, a love so deeply sown
I love you sweet girl, I'll see you in heaven above
You're with me in my heart, wrapped in eternal love.
Instrumental - guitar, piano, mandolin
Final Chorus
Oh Gracie, my sweet girl, my love for seventeen years plus
You taught us so much joy, and unconditional trust
Your paw prints on my heart, they will forever stay
I miss you more than words, each and every day.
Outro - acoustic guitar fade
Now you're running quickly, in a beautiful backyard
Staring at the bunnies, a watchful happy guard
Jumping high with beautiful legs, no pain to hold you down
Smiling, free and joyful, wearing your eternal crown.
