Chuco

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

The day after Christmas, a tiny paw in my hand,

Just six weeks old, the best gift in the land.

Ten pounds of perfection, a little Bulldog's grace,

My heart was so full, love shone in your face.

I found unconditional, a bond truly deep,

A promise made that I would always keep.

Chorus

Oh, Chuco, my sweet boy, my loyal, loving friend,

Ten years with you, a journey without end.

You taught my heart to open, to cherish every day,

A love like ours, it never fades away.

Verse 2

When I'd come home, after a long, weary day,

You wouldn't rush outside, you had a special way.

A greeting first, a wagging, happy show,

Some loving pets, before you'd ever go.

Your wet nose nudging, a gentle, rumbling sound,

Getting some love was priority, all around.

Chorus

Oh, Chuco, my sweet boy, my loyal, loving friend,

Ten years with you, a journey without end.

You taught my heart to open, to cherish every day,

A love like ours, it never fades away.

Bridge

I love you so much, papa, my dear precious bud,

I would have done everything, flowed in every blood.

But this was the only way, to protect you one last time,

I'll love you always, through all of space and time.

Instrumental - strings, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Chuco, my sweet boy, my loyal, loving friend,

Ten years with you, a journey without end.

You taught my heart to open, to cherish every day,

A love like ours, it never fades away.

Outro

Now at my table, I know that you are near,

Creeping on every meal, banishing all fear.

Hoping for a bite, a piece of what I've got,

Resting peacefully, in your favorite spot.

Outro - cello fade
