Babes

Intro - acoustic guitar, light percussion

Verse 1

I remember your soft grunts, a familiar, funny sound,

As if complaining 'bout the day, the sweetest dog around.

Then the door would open wide, a happy, eager race,

So excited for a ride, a smile upon your face.

Chorus

Oh, Babes, our pretty one, a light that shone so bright,

Five years and ten months of pure, unending delight.

You taught us how to love, with every wag and kiss,

How much our hearts can hold, a joy we truly miss.

Verse 2

Each day a special time, a moment just for us,

Separate cuddles, warm and kind, without a single fuss.

Coming home, we'd see you there, perched high upon the stair,

Tail wagging in the open air, a welcome beyond compare.

Chorus

Oh, Babes, our pretty one, a light that shone so bright,

Five years and ten months of pure, unending delight.

You taught us how to love, with every wag and kiss,

How much our hearts can hold, a joy we truly miss.

Bridge

Thank you for saving us, you gave our lives a start,

I wish we had more time to share our brand new house and heart.

I'll love and miss you forever, my sweet and pretty one,

Your memory will shine on, like morning's rising sun.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Babes, our pretty one, a light that shone so bright,

Five years and ten months of pure, unending delight.

You taught us how to love, with every wag and kiss,

How much our hearts can hold, a joy we truly miss.

Outro

Now you're enjoying the sun, belly out for all to see,

Scratching your back with the biggest smile, wild and happy, free.

Resting peacefully, our pretty girl, bathed in golden light.

Outro - guitar fade
