Whiskey

Intro - nylon guitar, soft piano

Verse 1

The quiet of the night, a gentle door

Another day was done, we asked for nothing more.

Into your cozy crate, I'd tuck you in with care,

A kiss upon your head, I'd always leave it there.

I'd hold you close, my friend, a soft and warm embrace,

A whispered promise said, "You're safe within this place."

"Dad loves you," I would say, a comfort in the dark,

My loyal Malinois, a bright and shining spark.

Chorus

Oh, Whiskey, my sweet boy, though time was brief, it's true,

One year and two months of pure joy with you.

Your spirit runs so free, a love that won't depart,

You'll always have a home right here within my heart.

Verse 2

At the dog park we would go, a joy for all to see,

You'd romp and chase and play, so wild and full of glee.

With other friends you'd run, a blur of joyful grace,

Then find me on the bench, right in your special place.

You'd lean your head on my knee, a soft and heavy weight,

And look up with those eyes, sealing our loving fate.

A silent, knowing gaze, a bond beyond compare,

A gentle, tender moment, hanging in the air.

Chorus

Oh, Whiskey, my sweet boy, though time was brief, it's true,

One year and two months of pure joy with you.

Your spirit runs so free, a love that won't depart,

You'll always have a home right here within my heart.

Bridge

That final whisper came, a silent, heartfelt plea,

"Your dad loves you so much," for all eternity.

Each memory a treasure, a love that knew no end,

My loyal, loving Whiskey, my truest, dearest friend.

Instrumental - piano, cello

Final Chorus

Oh, Whiskey, my sweet boy, though time was brief, it's true,

One year and two months of pure joy with you.

Your spirit runs so free, a love that won't depart,

You'll always have a home right here within my heart.

Outro - nylon guitar, soft piano

Now you're running free, in heaven's golden light,

With other happy dogs, so playful and so bright.

I know you're thinking of me, the times we used to share,

Whiskey, my sweet boy, beyond all earthly care.

Peaceful now you sleep, or run across the sky,

Until we meet again, beneath a gentle eye.

Outro - nylon guitar fade
