Sam

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The first time your big heart I knew,

A German Shepherd, strong and true.

With eager bark and wagging tail,

A game of fetch would never fail.

The ball already in your mouth,

Chasing joy from north to south.

My loyal friend, so full of grace,

A happy smile upon your face.

Chorus

Sam, my friend, for thirteen years and half,

Through every joy and every laugh.

Your spirit shines, a guiding star,

No matter how far you are.

Verse 2

Each day I’d come home from my work,

No doubt, no sadness, no dark lurk.

You'd meet me with a happy sound,

The best greeting on hallowed ground.

A gentle nudge, a hopeful sigh,

As moments of the day flew by.

Your happy dance, a silent plea,

Just happy to be there with me.

Chorus

Sam, my friend, for thirteen years and half,

Through every joy and every laugh.

Your spirit shines, a guiding star,

No matter how far you are.

Bridge

Now my sweet whisper, soft and low,

To fields where endless breezes blow.

Chase squirrels and play ball, my dear,

Until we meet again right here.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Sam, my friend, for thirteen years and half,

Through every joy and every laugh.

Your spirit shines, a guiding star,

No matter how far you are.

Outro

I see you running, free and light,

Waiting for me, day and night.

Beyond the rainbow, bright and clear,

I know your loving heart is near.

Outro - guitar fade
