Buddy

Intro

Piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

The first time our eyes met, a quiet, gentle gaze,

Your coat of black and white, through all of those early days.

A soft lapping sound, from your waterbowl,

A simple, pure presence, that touched my very soul.

A loyal pitbull heart, so full of grace and light,

Bringing comfort and joy, morning, noon, and night.

Chorus

Oh Buddy, sweet Buddy, my love, my dear friend,

Seven years we shared, right until the very end.

Your memory a whisper, a soft and tender sigh,

Forever in my heart, beneath the moonlit sky.

Verse 2

Each evening twilight, as my car turned in the lane,

Your happy little barks, chasing away all pain.

A special, sweet greeting, a joyful, wagging dance,

Waiting by the window, for just a single glance.

You knew my every step, you knew my every sound,

The best companion ever, on hallowed, loving ground.

Chorus

Oh Buddy, sweet Buddy, my love, my dear friend,

Seven years we shared, right until the very end.

Your memory a whisper, a soft and tender sigh,

Forever in my heart, beneath the moonlit sky.

Bridge

"Nothing to be afraid anymore," I whispered in your ear,

Wishing I could hold you, wishing you were still here.

"I am so sorry you left too soon," a pain that lingers deep,

A promise that your spirit, my heart will always keep.

Instrumental

Piano, cello

Final Chorus

Oh Buddy, sweet Buddy, my love, my dear friend,

Seven years we shared, right until the very end.

Your memory a whisper, a soft and tender sigh,

Forever in my heart, beneath the moonlit sky.

Outro

Now you're running free, in fields of endless green,

Playing with your friend Jade, a beautiful, peaceful scene.

No more sorrow, no more pain, just endless, happy play,

Until we meet again, my Buddy, someday.
