Gussy Boy's Story
Gussy Boy, with his floppy ears and a tail that spun like a helicopter, always offered gentle kisses, big brown eyes, and enthusiastic greetings, often with a toy in his mouth. He loved his morning butt scratches and brought immeasurable comfort, especially during those quiet nights spent curled at the foot of the bed.
— Remembered by Shelley
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
Floppy ears and gentle kisses too,
Biggest brown eyes, so sweet and true.
A tail that spun like a helicopter blade,
Every morning, a happy serenade.
Your bark would greet me when I came down the stair,
With a wag and a toy beyond compare.
You’d bring it to us, barking, a joyful sound,
The best welcome a family ever found.
Chorus
Oh, Gussy Boy, my sweet and loyal friend,
Eleven years, right until the end.
Your love was pure, a light so bright,
Guiding us through every day and night.
Verse 2
A Labradoodle, soft and warm,
You sheltered us from every storm.
At night you’d settle, at the foot of my bed,
Peaceful dreams within your gentle head.
So many butt scratches, a happy sigh,
As time with you just seemed to fly.
Every day a joy, in your loving gaze,
Lost in your sweet, affectionate ways.
Chorus
Oh, Gussy Boy, my sweet and loyal friend,
Eleven years, right until the end.
Your love was pure, a light so bright,
Guiding us through every day and night.
Bridge
Now silence fills the place you used to be,
But your paw prints live inside of me.
A gentle whisper, a truth I hold so deep,
Forever my boy, while memories I keep.
Harmonica Solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Gussy Boy, my sweet and loyal friend,
Eleven years, right until the end.
Your love was pure, a light so bright,
Guiding us through every day and night.
Outro
Now you’re running free, no pain in sight,
Chasing all your favorite toys, so bright.
Beneath the sun, or by a peaceful stream,
Living out a happy, endless dream.
Outro - guitar fade
