Layla

Intro - ukulele, light percussion

Verse 1

The day we first met, a tiny pup's start,

Riding home from Philly, straight to my heart.

To LBI we journeyed, windows down low,

A smart, loyal companion, watched our love grow.

A spirited mix, with eyes bright and keen,

The best dog that anyone had ever seen.

You filled every moment, so full of grace,

Always knowing just how to light up the place.

Chorus

Oh, Layla, my Layla, a lifetime we knew,

Fifteen and a half years, devoted and true.

Your spirit still shines, a warm, guiding light,

Making every dark moment feel sunny and bright.

Verse 2

Our adventures were many, from sand to the street,

Every beach walk together, so wonderfully sweet.

Car rides to PetSmart, or just to the bank,

Your head out the window, pure joy you would crank.

Those simple routines, a cherished design,

Your paw in my hand, our hearts intertwined.

Each laugh and each cuddle, a memory I hold,

A story of friendship, more precious than gold.

Chorus

Oh, Layla, my Layla, a lifetime we knew,

Fifteen and a half years, devoted and true.

Your spirit still shines, a warm, guiding light,

Making every dark moment feel sunny and bright.

Bridge

I love you, I miss you, with all of my soul,

I hope I gave everything to make your life whole.

You were the best thing that ever found me, it's true,

I hope you're with Daisy and Leo, playing anew.

I miss you so much, I hope I was good,

The best mom to you, just like I should.

Ukulele solo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Layla, my Layla, a lifetime we knew,

Fifteen and a half years, devoted and true.

Your spirit still shines, a warm, guiding light,

Making every dark moment feel sunny and bright.

Outro

I feel you beside me, a whisper, a breeze,

Watching from somewhere, among the tall trees.

Running forever, where soft breezes play,

My beautiful Layla, forever and a day.

Outro - ukulele fade
