Mabel

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

I remember nights, the soft click of your stride,

Your big paws on the floor, nowhere to hide.

You'd stretch out on the bed, as large as me,

A gentle giant, wild and free.

Every small creature, a friend you would embrace,

A loving spirit, full of grace.

My Saint Bernard, with a heart so true,

My world was always better with you.

Chorus

Oh, Mabel, our sweet girl, pure and bright,

Seven wonderful years, a guiding light.

Your love a steady beacon, strong and deep,

Precious memories we forever keep.

Verse 2

The moment you'd hear me, you'd pop up so fast,

A burst of pure joy, a love built to last.

Car trips and McDonald's, a favorite delight,

Your loops meant adventure, day and night.

From your spot on the deck, you'd watch your domain,

Even in pain, you'd soothe my strain.

Your feelings for me, so tender and kind,

A truer companion, I'll never find.

Chorus

Oh, Mabel, our sweet girl, pure and bright,

Seven wonderful years, a guiding light.

Your love a steady beacon, strong and deep,

Precious memories we forever keep.

Bridge

You heard the call, others waiting there,

Vinny, Stella, Sonic, Lola, a loving pair.

Wait for me with them, my sweet, loyal friend,

See you in a minute, until the very end.

Instrumental - strings, guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Mabel, our sweet girl, pure and bright,

Seven wonderful years, a guiding light.

Your love a steady beacon, strong and deep,

Precious memories we forever keep.

Outro

Now in the largest snowstorm, you run and play,

Free from all pain, come what may.

A peaceful slumber, under winter's soft glow,

My beloved Mabel, watching the falling snow.

Outro - cello fade
