Suki

Intro - grand piano, soft strings

Verse 1

I remember the day, clear as morning light,

A tiny pure creature, so perfectly white.

A tea cup Maltese, a vision so grand,

Held like a treasure, right there in my hand.

Smallest and fairest, a beautiful sight,

Filling my heart with such pure, gentle light.

A precious beginning, a love truly blessed,

Putting my anxious young heart right to rest.

Chorus

Oh, Suki, sweet Suki, six phenomenal years,

You chased away shadows and quieted fears.

You taught me of joy with your playful soft bark,

Leaving your paw prints deep down in my heart.

Verse 2

When the long workday finally would end,

I'd walk through the door to my dearest small friend.

It took two long years, for your trust to unwind,

To lay at my feet, a bond one of a kind.

You'd flop on your back, a delightful display,

Paws to your chest, asking for more in your way.

With a quick up-down motion and a thoughtful soft bark,

You left your sweet paw prints deep down in my heart.

Chorus

Oh, Suki, sweet Suki, six phenomenal years,

You chased away shadows and quieted fears.

You taught me of joy with your playful soft bark,

Leaving your paw prints deep down in my heart.

Verse 3

On the warm sandy beach, with her sister so near,

You'd chase the soft waves, without any fear.

A sisterly bond, from when you were so small,

She gave you her heart, giving her absolute all.

Though Mariette grieves now, her best friend gone far,

You shine in her memories, a beautiful star.

Then running to Mummy, a hug held so tight,

Like your whole little world depended on light.

Chorus

Oh, Suki, sweet Suki, six phenomenal years,

You chased away shadows and quieted fears.

You taught me of joy with your playful soft bark,

Leaving your paw prints deep down in my heart.

Bridge

And though you've departed, your spirit still gleams,

You visit me often in comfort and dreams.

I close my eyes softly, and whisper your name,

My beautiful princess, I feel you the same.

"Sukify me," my sweet, loyal friend,

A love that will never, ever truly end.

Instrumental - dramatic piano, soaring strings, subtle pipe organ

Final Chorus

Oh, Suki, sweet Suki, six phenomenal years,

You chased away shadows and quieted fears.

You taught me of joy with your playful soft bark,

Leaving your paw prints deep down in my heart.

Outro - grand piano fade, resonant organ chord

I still feel you coming, flopping down at my feet,

Asking for belly rubs, with your sweet paw beat.

Running free now, on soft grassy plains,

My love for you, Suki, forever remains.
