Roxie

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember the way your whole bottom would sway,

When your little nub tail began to play.

You'd jump up so quick when I rose from my chair,

To see if new rooms were waiting to share.

Each night you'd crawl deep, right under the sheet,

Then rest on my pillow, so perfectly sweet.

You'd meander the hallway if I was out of sight,

And let me cry on your nape, through the lonely, dark night.

Chorus

Oh, Roxie, my girl, for ten wonderful years,

You chased away shadows and quieted my fears.

A bulldog of heart, a loyal, true friend,

My constant companion, until the very end.

Verse 2

Our mornings began with a gentle routine,

Meds, water, and treats, a comforting scene.

Then came our favorite, a mid-morning nap,

On the couch, head so warm, resting soft in my lap.

No matter the journey, no matter the place,

You came everywhere with me, with love and with grace.

My shadow, my solace, my anchor, my guide,

Always right there, close by my side.

Chorus

Oh, Roxie, my girl, for ten wonderful years,

You chased away shadows and quieted my fears.

A bulldog of heart, a loyal, true friend,

My constant companion, until the very end.

Bridge

Thank you, dear Roxie, for seeing me through,

The hardest two years, with your love shining true.

Tell dad "Hi" for me, when you finally meet,

I'll see you both soon, my reunion will be sweet.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Roxie, my girl, for ten wonderful years,

You chased away shadows and quieted my fears.

A bulldog of heart, a loyal, true friend,

My constant companion, until the very end.

Outro

Now you're reunited, with Brad by your side,

Walking together, where true spirits ride.

No more goodbyes, just endless green fields,

His hand on your head, all your happiness yields.

Outro - guitar fade
