Little Man Bacchus's Story
Little Man Bacchus, the beloved West Highland Terrier, had a profound way of just knowing, offering a listening gaze and a comforting presence as a night pillow and morning alarm. He lovingly licked toes dry after showers, even teaching Little Basil to take over this special ritual. Bachy’s spirit charged his person for the better, for good.
— Remembered by Mark
Lyrics
Intro - Rhodes piano, soft strings
Verse 1
You just knew me, deep inside my soul
Knew what to do to make me whole
Your people bone, a treasured find
A simple gift, so sweet and kind
Your eyes would lock when I would whine
A silent promise, truly divine
We had a plan, a gentle plea
I wish you'd just come back to me.
Chorus
Oh, Little Man Bacchus, fifteen years
You calmed my heart, you dried my tears
A tiny shadow, always near
My precious Bacchus, held so dear.
Verse 2
My pillow at night, so soft and warm
My morning alarm, through sun and storm
You'd lick the water from my toes
A special task, as everyone knows
Then taught young Basil, sweet and small
To take your place, to answer my call
You knew it then, the time was nigh
For me to whisper, my hardest goodbye.
Chorus
Oh, Little Man Bacchus, fifteen years
You calmed my heart, you dried my tears
A tiny shadow, always near
My precious Bacchus, held so dear.
Verse 3
Your fluffy bone, brought just for me
A welcoming gift, for all to see
You taught the gang, how to behave
Bentley, Basil, Bingle, Blizzard, the love you gave
They miss you now, they know you're gone
But you're with Macy, Roxy, Bella Marie, reborn
To hold you all, a dream so true
To feel your presence, shining through.
Chorus
Oh, Little Man Bacchus, fifteen years
You calmed my heart, you dried my tears
A tiny shadow, always near
My precious Bacchus, held so dear.
Bridge
Thank you, Bachy, for all your grace
You charged my spirit, found my place
Not just for better, but for good
A love so pure, misunderstood.
Instrumental - soft strings, Rhodes piano
Final Chorus
Oh, Little Man Bacchus, fifteen years
You calmed my heart, you dried my tears
A tiny shadow, always near
My precious Bacchus, held so dear.
Outro - Rhodes piano fade, soft strings
You're with me every single day
Beside me nightly, come what may
I see your shadow, hear your sound
Forever here, on hallowed ground
I'm not the same, since you took flight
But carry your love, morning and night.
