Intro - piano, cello

Verse 1

A tiny fluff, a graceful stride,

Always by her Momma's side.

With eager paws, she'd softly run,

A happy blur beneath the sun.

Our first sweet moments, fresh and bright,

A poodle's joy, a pure delight.

The yard became her happy place,

With boundless energy and grace.

Chorus

Oh, Wilma Jean, my precious girl,

You brightened up my whole wide world.

Fifteen years, a love so deep,

Sweet memories our hearts will keep.

My gentle shadow, soft and true,

Forever thankful, dear, for you.

Verse 2

The quiet afternoons we'd share,

A peaceful presence, always there.

Beside me on the couch you'd lie,

Watching the screen as hours went by.

A knowing glance, a gentle sigh,

Beneath the loving, watchful eye.

My dearest comfort, warm and near,

Dispelling every single fear.

Chorus

Oh, Wilma Jean, my precious girl,

You brightened up my whole wide world.

Fifteen years, a love so deep,

Sweet memories our hearts will keep.

My gentle shadow, soft and true,

Forever thankful, dear, for you.

Bridge

My best friend, that's what you were,

Through every joy, through every blur.

And though you've journeyed on ahead,

Your spirit lingers, softly spread.

We'll be together once again, I know,

Where endless love and peace will flow.

Instrumental - harp, glockenspiel

Final Chorus

Oh, Wilma Jean, my precious girl,

You brightened up my whole wide world.

Fifteen years, a love so deep,

Sweet memories our hearts will keep.

My gentle shadow, soft and true,

Forever thankful, dear, for you.

Outro

Now playing free beyond the blue,

With all your brothers, sisters too.

No pain, no sorrow, just pure grace,

A peaceful sleep in time and space.

My sweet Wilma Jean, rest well, my dear.

Outro - piano fade
