Marley

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

Twelve years ago, a sandy little pup, you came into my life

With a shaggy coat and quirky looks, you ended all my strife

Your little Marley sounds, a language all your own

In every happy bark and sigh, true love was clearly sown.

Chorus

Oh, Marley, my dear Marley, twelve wonderful years we knew

A bond so deep, so true, my heart belongs to you

You filled my days with laughter, chased shadows from my soul

Marley, my sweet Marley, you always made me whole.

Verse 2

When I'd come home, you'd find me, a happy, barking plea

"Why did you leave me?" you would ask, "Let's go outside with me!"

Your playful nudges, sandy paws, a spirit wild and free

You were my gnarly Marley, always there for me.

Chorus

Oh, Marley, my dear Marley, twelve wonderful years we knew

A bond so deep, so true, my heart belongs to you

You filled my days with laughter, chased shadows from my soul

Marley, my sweet Marley, you always made me whole.

Verse 3

When dinner came, your Marley gaze, would watch my every move

As I prepared your special food, a hungry love to prove.

Then "night night" meant the potty call, and up the stairs we'd creep

For your sweet treat, then on my bed, behind my head you'd sleep.

Bridge

I love you, Marley, my gnarly Marley, I love you so much, it's true

A final whisper, from my heart, forever missing you.

I know you're with Mocha, up in heaven above, playing free and wide

And I pray we snuggle again, when God calls me to your side.

Harmonica Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Marley, my dear Marley, twelve wonderful years we knew

A bond so deep, so true, my heart belongs to you

You filled my days with laughter, chased shadows from my soul

Marley, my sweet Marley, you always made me whole.

Outro

With Mocha running free, across those golden lands

Waiting patiently for me, with wagging tail and paws.

My sweet Marley, until then.

Outro - acoustic guitar, harmonica resolution
