Tesla

Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin

Verse 1

I remember the day, a loyal soul arrived,

Wherever I ventured, close by your side you thrived.

Through every doorway, every path I'd roam,

You were the true heart, the best part of coming home.

A gentle giant, a shadow so grand,

A watchful guardian, always close at hand.

Your quiet presence, a comfort so deep,

Secrets of my life, you faithfully would keep.

Chorus

Oh, Tesla, my sweet girl, eleven years and more,

Your love's a steady beacon, forever at my core.

A celebration of the joy you freely gave,

The precious bond we nurtured, strong, courageous, brave.

Verse 2

Before the key turned, before I was inside,

You knew I was returning, nowhere you would hide.

Right on the other side, waiting at the door,

Your loving eyes would greet me, asking nothing more.

If I stepped in a store, just for a moment's pause,

Your gaze never wandered, defying all the laws.

A loyal companion, true and ever keen,

The brightest, purest spirit I have ever seen.

Chorus

Oh, Tesla, my sweet girl, eleven years and more,

Your love's a steady beacon, forever at my core.

A celebration of the joy you freely gave,

The precious bond we nurtured, strong, courageous, brave.

Bridge

Thank you, mama, for memories so sweet,

Comfort you brought me, through joy and through defeat.

Rest in peace, my angel, you're always in my heart,

My sweet, sweet Tesla, we will never truly part.

Instrumental - mandolin solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Tesla, my sweet girl, eleven years and more,

Your love's a steady beacon, forever at my core.

A celebration of the joy you freely gave,

The precious bond we nurtured, strong, courageous, brave.

Outro

I feel your closeness now, wherever I may roam,

A silent presence guiding, calling me back home.

Running pain free, no more struggling, light as air,

My sweet angel Tesla, forever everywhere.

Outro - guitar fade
