Leia

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

The day we met, a brand new start,

A tiny Yorkie, stole my heart.

We stopped for snacks, the journey long,

Then in my lap, where you belonged.

Your little head, a sleepy weight,

As if you rested, for the first time, fate.

I drove so slow, to keep you near,

No need for waking, no need for fear.

Chorus

Leia, my sweet, for eight long years,

You dried my eyes and calmed my fears.

A tiny light, so pure and true,

My heart forever beats for you.

Verse 2

Each morning call, before I'd leave,

A hug goodbye, I truly believe.

Upon my bed, a watchful gaze,

Through busy hours, through life's haze.

“I’ll see you soon,” the words I'd say,

And you'd be there, at close of day.

With happy tail, a loving sight,

You filled my coming home with light.

Chorus

Leia, my sweet, for eight long years,

You dried my eyes and calmed my fears.

A tiny light, so pure and true,

My heart forever beats for you.

Bridge

That final breath, I held you close,

Your eyes met mine, a love that rose.

“It’s okay baby, it’s my turn now,”

A silent promise, a sacred vow.

To hold you once, just one more time,

“I love you, thank you for choosing me, sublime.”

Instrumental - piano, strings, harp

Final Chorus

Leia, my sweet, for eight long years,

You dried my eyes and calmed my fears.

A tiny light, so pure and true,

My heart forever beats for you.

Outro

Now in my heart, your spirit bright,

Chasing away the darkest night.

I see you running, strong and free,

Through golden fields, eternally.

My sweet Leia, you're always near,

Beyond the clouds, beyond a tear.

Outro - piano fade
