Jack

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember clearly the day we first met,

A Yellow Lab's greeting, a moment I won't forget.

Your precious love shining, so eager to please,

Always just wanting to be with me, putting my heart at ease.

Chorus

Oh, Jack, my faithful, dear companion true,

Nine and a half years, what a life we journeyed through.

You left your paw prints deep inside my soul,

Making my broken spirit feel whole.

Verse 2

From daytime car trips to boat rides in the sun,

Walks in the snow, our playful spirits run.

Evenings you'd lay so close, up against my side,

Sleeping at the foot of the bed, or where the door defied.

Chorus

Oh, Jack, my faithful, dear companion true,

Nine and a half years, what a life we journeyed through.

You left your paw prints deep inside my soul,

Making my broken spirit feel whole.

Bridge

I whisper now, as I've whispered before,

I never stopped loving or missing you, I adore.

No more cancer pain, you're free and you're bright,

Until we meet again, I’ll be there, bathed in your light, I promise.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Final Chorus

Oh, Jack, my faithful, dear companion true,

Nine and a half years, what a life we journeyed through.

You left your paw prints deep inside my soul,

Making my broken spirit feel whole.

Outro

Now you wait by the gates, with my son and dear Shadow too,

No more pain, just peace, in the heavens so blue.

You're waiting for my calling, by God's gentle hand,

To join you all in that promised land.

Outro - guitar fade
