Bentley

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The first time that our eyes met, a memory so clear,

You greeted me with a crooked smile, calming every fear.

A little Shar Pei puppy, with a spirit bright and bold,

A decade of adventures, a story to unfold.

Just whisper "walk" and watch you bark, a crazy, joyful sound,

The happiest boy I'd ever seen, paws upon the ground.

That eager anticipation, a lesson in pure glee,

The world was always brighter, with you right here with me.

Chorus

Oh, Bentley, my dear Bentley, ten years we spent as one,

Beneath the moon, beneath the sun.

Your gentle spirit, shining bright, a beacon in my life,

You healed my heart, you calmed my strife.

Verse 2

The evening light would softly fade, and you'd jump on my bed,

For gentle, quiet snuggles, a pillow for your head.

But too much loving, you would say, by moving to the side,

Just out of reach, in peaceful slumber, your small secrets to hide.

That perfect balance that you held, of closeness and of grace,

A cherished bond, a loving friend, in your familiar place.

Those little quirks, they made you you, so special and so true,

My heart holds every moment, every memory of you.

Chorus

Oh, Bentley, my dear Bentley, ten years we spent as one,

Beneath the moon, beneath the sun.

Your gentle spirit, shining bright, a beacon in my life,

You healed my heart, you calmed my strife.

Verse 3

Through all the days, the good and hard, your loyal heart stayed true,

You guarded every moment, like a cherished, secret view.

The simple joy of knowing you were always close at hand,

A quiet comfort in my life, across the weary land.

You didn't need grand gestures, just a gentle, knowing glance,

And in that love, I found my strength, a second, peaceful chance.

Bridge

My sweet boy, I whisper low, "I am so proud of you."

You filled my life with purpose, my dreams you saw them through.

You are my everything, my love, my loyal, faithful friend,

This boundless love will never fade, it echoes to the end.

Instrumental - harmonica, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Bentley, my dear Bentley, ten years we spent as one,

Beneath the moon, beneath the sun.

Your gentle spirit, shining bright, a beacon in my life,

You healed my heart, you calmed my strife.

Outro

Now run free, sweet Bentley, with Bella by your side,

A clear mind, happy spirit, nowhere left to hide.

No more worries, no more pain, away from 'Katie's' fuss,

Just joyful play forever, watching over us.

Outro - guitar fade
