Canuck

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember walks beneath the sun so bright,

A golden lab mix, a truly warming sight.

You'd run ahead, with joyful, boundless grace,

Then turn right back, right into my embrace.

For a gentle rub, a loving, happy start,

You always had such an open, trusting heart.

Those early days, a bond began to grow,

More than I could ever truly know.

Chorus

Oh, Canuck, my dear boy, for fourteen years you stayed,

A loyal friend, a promise never swayed.

Your paw print etched upon my very soul,

You made my fractured spirit feel so whole.

Verse 2

We walked the trail by Darlington Lake's calm shore,

Adventures shared, always wanting something more.

And when we reached the water, cool and deep,

Into the clear blue, you would gladly leap.

A wagging tail, a happy, splashing sound,

The best companion that could e'er be found.

So full of life, so kind in every way,

You brightened up each passing day.

Chorus

Oh, Canuck, my dear boy, for fourteen years you stayed,

A loyal friend, a promise never swayed.

Your paw print etched upon my very soul,

You made my fractured spirit feel so whole.

Bridge

If I could whisper just one final word to you,

My gentle giant, my faithful, loyal, true.

You were the best boy ever, kind and sweet,

My life with you was wonderfully complete.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Canuck, my dear boy, for fourteen years you stayed,

A loyal friend, a promise never swayed.

Your paw print etched upon my very soul,

You made my fractured spirit feel so whole.

Outro

Now you rest easy, by the water's gleam,

Beside my dad, living a peaceful dream.

Watching him fish, content and calm at last,

Your loving memory forever holds me fast.

Outro - guitar fade
