Benny

Intro - piano, cello

Verse 1

A tiny fluff of white and gold,

A story we were meant to unfold.

You snuggled close upon my chair,

Then claimed the spot, without a care.

My small Shih Tzu, so bold and bright,

Filling my world with pure delight.

Chorus

Oh, Benny, my sweet, darling boy,

You brought ten months of endless joy.

A gentle soul, a precious friend,

A love that time can never end.

Verse 2

After our walk, the day half-done,

Your mid-afternoon zoomies, so much fun.

A blur of fur across the floor,

Then ready to explore some more.

Your Petey penguin, Larry llama, too,

Shared all their secrets, just with you.

Chorus

Oh, Benny, my sweet, darling boy,

You brought ten months of endless joy.

A gentle soul, a precious friend,

A love that time can never end.

Bridge

They say there'll never be another like you,

My heart holds emptiness, it's true.

Mommy will sing this song for you always,

"I love you Benny, oh yes I do,

I don't love anyone, only you!"

Instrumental - glockenspiel, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Benny, my sweet, darling boy,

You brought ten months of endless joy.

A gentle soul, a precious friend,

A love that time can never end.

Outro

Now you're smelling all the smells so free,

No confusion, just pure glee.

Visiting friends, both human and pet,

With Petey and Larry, you're wrestling yet.

Run sweet boy, across the sunlit plain,

Until we meet again, again.
