Leo

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

I remember well your hungry bark, a sound so clear and deep,

A gentle scratch upon the bowl, secrets you would keep.

A Beagle heart, a bulldog soul, with loyal spirit bright,

You filled our home with so much love, from morning until night.

Chorus

Oh Leo, my sweet friend so true,

For fourteen years, my heart knew you.

A precious bond, a cherished art,

Forever etched within my heart.

Verse 2

Those cozy nights, when close we'd lie, beneath the blankets warm,

Your soft fur pressed against my side, safe from every storm.

A special comfort, pure and deep, a quiet, peaceful grace,

You snuggled in, then fell asleep, right in your favorite place.

Chorus

Oh Leo, my sweet friend so true,

For fourteen years, my heart knew you.

A precious bond, a cherished art,

Forever etched within my heart.

Verse 3

Though quiet now the house may seem, without your playful call,

I close my eyes and catch a dream, you standing proud and tall.

Perhaps you nap in sunlit grace, where gentle breezes sigh,

A warmth remains, no time can erase, beneath the open sky.

Chorus

Oh Leo, my sweet friend so true,

For fourteen years, my heart knew you.

A precious bond, a cherished art,

Forever etched within my heart.

Bridge

If I could whisper just once more, before the silent night,

The words I'd tell you from my core, bathed in gentle light.

My dearest Leo, yes, it's true, a love that won't depart,

My final whisper is "I Love You!" beating in my heart.

Instrumental - piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh Leo, my sweet friend so true,

For fourteen years, my heart knew you.

A precious bond, a cherished art,

Forever etched within my heart.

Outro

Now you rest beneath the sun, so peaceful and so free,

Your golden, quiet journey's done, watching over me.

Outro - piano fade
