Copper

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the first day you entered, a shadow so dear

My kitchen companion, banishing all fear

A beautiful beagle, with eyes full of knowing

A soul doggy truly, with love ever growing

Wherever I wandered, you'd follow along

My constant protector, my comfort, my song

You understood feelings, without a sound made

A bond woven deeply, that never will fade.

Chorus

Oh, Copper, sweet Copper, through eleven full years

You wiped away sadness and dried all my tears

My true soul doggy, a love so profound

The best friend a heart could have ever found

Verse 2

I'd remember the snuggles, so close to my side

Where secrets were whispered, nowhere to hide

You'd curl up beside me, a soft, gentle weight

With thick velvety ears, a blessing of fate

A head on my shoulder, a comforting sigh

Beneath the same moon, gazing up at the sky

Those moments were magic, a peace in your gaze

Now cherished forever, through all of my days.

Chorus

Oh, Copper, sweet Copper, through eleven full years

You wiped away sadness and dried all my tears

My true soul doggy, a love so profound

The best friend a heart could have ever found

Verse 3

I'd recall morning greetings, a tail wagging low

The silent devotion, wherever I'd go

A soft nudge against me, a knowing, deep gaze

You brightened my spirit, through all of my days

You chased every shadow, with laughter and light

My faithful companion, from morning 'til night

Each step by my side, a true, steady beat

My Copper, my darling, forever so sweet.

Bridge

Though silence is heavy, and shadows now fall

I hear your last whisper, answering love's call

I will always love you, with all of my heart

And know someday, darling, we won't be apart.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Copper, sweet Copper, through eleven full years

You wiped away sadness and dried all my tears

My true soul doggy, a love so profound

The best friend a heart could have ever found

Outro

Now you're eating all the foods, running wild and so free

Playing with Buddy and Cookie, waiting for me

A spirit unbound, beneath skies ever bright

Rest easy, my Copper, sleep well through the night.

Outro - guitar fade
