Teddy

Intro - piano, celesta

Verse 1

I remember when you'd wait right by the door

A sweet, soft welcome, nothing I'd ask for

You followed closely, a shadow soft and deep

Secrets of my heart, you promised to keep

Chorus

Oh, Teddy, my dear friend, nine wonderful years

You comforted my soul and dried all my tears

Your gentle presence, a love so pure and true

My sweet companion, I'll always miss you

Verse 2

We'd sit on the couch, the TV softly played

A quiet moment, a memory gently made

Your loving spirit, always close by my side

In every memory, there's nowhere to hide

Chorus

Oh, Teddy, my dear friend, nine wonderful years

You comforted my soul and dried all my tears

Your gentle presence, a love so pure and true

My sweet companion, I'll always miss you

Bridge

Though silence fills the space where you once lay

I hear your whisper, brightening my day

"I miss you, butterball," the words I long to say

And hope to meet you again someday

Instrumental - piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Teddy, my dear friend, nine wonderful years

You comforted my soul and dried all my tears

Your gentle presence, a love so pure and true

My sweet companion, I'll always miss you

Outro - piano fade

Now you watch from above, where the skies are clear

Whispering "everything's okay," banishing all fear

Waiting by the pearly gates, for us to play once more

Rest easy, sweet Teddy, forever loved to the core.
