Chalky

Ukulele, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

The first time I saw you, a blur on the sand,

Sprinting on beaches, across open land.

A quiet sweet presence, no demands would you make,

Just the joy of the freedom, for freedom's own sake.

No begging for treats, no loud bark would I hear,

Just a gentle devotion, so precious and clear.

To run wild and happy, that was your heart's desire,

Setting my own spirit, truly afire.

Chorus

Oh, Chalky, my darling, sixteen beautiful years,

You filled every moment, wiped away all my tears.

A spirit so joyful, a love strong and true,

Every day was a gift, spent walking with you.

Verse 2

At night on my bed, you'd sleep on my feet,

A comforting anchor, so tender and sweet.

Our walks were a purpose, a journey we'd share,

Exploring the world, without a single care.

Now you're smelling everything, keen and so bright,

Sharing your love with all, a pure radiant light.

To every kind creature, and people you'd meet,

Your kindness and spirit, can never be beat.

Chorus

Oh, Chalky, my darling, sixteen beautiful years,

You filled every moment, wiped away all my tears.

A spirit so joyful, a love strong and true,

Every day was a gift, spent walking with you.

Bridge

I told you to go find your first mummy, my dear,

And I'll come to join you, when my time is here.

You taught me of love, kindness, compassion untold,

A treasure more precious than silver or gold.

You'll always be with me, forever a part,

Engraved in my memories, held close in my heart.

Ukulele, percussion

Final Chorus

Oh, Chalky, my darling, sixteen beautiful years,

You filled every moment, wiped away all my tears.

A spirit so joyful, a love strong and true,

Every day was a gift, spent walking with you!

Outro

Now you're free, running fields, with your first mummy near,

Smelling every sweet scent, banishing fear.

Loving all creatures, in pure joy and grace,

Resting in peace, in that wonderful place.
