Sissy

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

I remember your sweet look, a gentle, quiet plea,

Your happy wagging tail, always there for me.

A loyal dog's soft presence, a comfort by my side,

With every step we took, you were my loving guide.

Chorus

Oh, Sissy, sweet Sissy, my heart still holds your name,

Nine precious years we shared, a flickering, loving flame.

Though silence fills the house, your spirit lingers near,

You wipe away my sorrow, you chase away each tear.

Verse 2

At five o’clock each morning, the house was still and deep,

Just me and my warm coffee, while the world was fast asleep.

But then your gentle presence, a shadow by my chair,

A silent, sweet communion, a bond beyond compare.

Chorus

Oh, Sissy, sweet Sissy, my heart still holds your name,

Nine precious years we shared, a flickering, loving flame.

Though silence fills the house, your spirit lingers near,

You wipe away my sorrow, you chase away each tear.

Bridge

Now run free, my sweet girl, beyond the sky so wide,

I'll carry you within me, deep down inside.

This isn't quite goodbye, just 'til we meet again,

My heart holds onto hope, beyond all earthly pain.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Sissy, sweet Sissy, my heart still holds your name,

Nine precious years we shared, a flickering, loving flame.

Though silence fills the house, your spirit lingers near,

You wipe away my sorrow, you chase away each tear.

Outro

Running free with Lucky, across the open land,

A joyful, endless journey, guided by love's hand.

Until we meet again, my sweet girl, rest in peace.

Outro - piano fade
