Buddy's Story
From the moment he snuggled with a happy growl, Buddy, the spirited Jack Russel, loved to prance ahead, always looking back to ensure his loved ones followed his lead. His days were filled with joyful patrols and digging, always concluding with tender evening cuddles on the couch before heading to bed. Though deeply missed, his spirit continues to run like the wind, perhaps on patrol or digging for moles, until he reaches the rainbow bridge.
— Remembered by Dawn
Lyrics
Intro - piano, strings
Verse 1
A tiny growl, a happy sound so deep,
As under legs, you’d gently try to sleep.
You pranced the yard, the street, the park so wide,
Always checking that we were by your side.
You owned each patch, a king in every stride,
Our little leader, full of joyful pride.
A furry shadow, always close and near,
Dispelling every worry, every fear.
Chorus
Oh, Buddy, dearest Buddy, seven years we knew,
A love so pure, so honest, and so true.
Your spirit dances, joyful and so free,
A cherished memory, you’ll always be.
Verse 2
When day was done, your favorite place to be,
Was snuggled close, just you and gentle me.
On velvet couch, then tucked into the bed,
Sweet dreams of chasing creatures filled your head.
A loyal heart, a spirit brave and bold,
More precious than any story ever told.
Each glance behind, a promise whispered low,
Wherever we'd go, you'd always lead the show.
Chorus
Oh, Buddy, dearest Buddy, seven years we knew,
A love so pure, so honest, and so true.
Your spirit dances, joyful and so free,
A cherished memory, you’ll always be.
Bridge
I love you so, I hope to see you there,
Beyond the clouds, without a single care.
Run like the wind until then, sweetest boy,
Forever cherished, bringing endless joy.
Instrumental - strings, oboe
Final Chorus
Oh, Buddy, dearest Buddy, seven years we knew,
A love so pure, so honest, and so true.
Your spirit dances, joyful and so free,
A cherished memory, you’ll always be.
Outro - strings fade
Now you're on patrol, beneath skies so blue,
Or digging deep for moles, just like you'd do.
Resting peacefully, your work is never done,
Our brightest star, our shining morning sun.
