Dexter

Intro - piano, acoustic guitar

Verse 1

A sweet baby boy, in the morning's soft gleam,

You'd finish your breakfast, a cherished daily dream.

Then push through my barn door, just to say hello,

A gentle wet nose kiss, a loving soft glow.

As I'd leave for my day, you'd try to come along,

My husband would hold you, where you truly belong.

Then home from my work, you'd wait by the door,

With brother and sister, asking for more.

Chorus

Oh, Dexter, my darling, my sweet baby boy,

For one year and four months, you brought so much joy.

You made me feel loved, beyond all compare,

My heart holds your paw print, a bond we still share.

Verse 2

On Fridays at home, a special delight,

You'd share dad's warm breakfast, then seek out my light.

Your little nose nudging, a soft morning kiss,

Then scratch at the blanket, pure snuggling bliss.

You'd burrow beneath it, right next to my side,

Your soft gentle snore, nowhere to hide.

We'd sleep in for hours, a quiet warm nest,

Then wake me with kisses, the very best.

Chorus

Oh, Dexter, my darling, my sweet baby boy,

For one year and four months, you brought so much joy.

You made me feel loved, beyond all compare,

My heart holds your paw print, a bond we still share.

Bridge

My heart aches with sorrow, for not being there,

If time could be turned back, beyond all repair.

I'd cherish each moment, and hold you so tight,

And make sure I was home, both morning and night.

I love you with all, my whole beating heart.

Instrumental - piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Dexter, my darling, my sweet baby boy,

For one year and four months, you brought so much joy.

You made me feel loved, beyond all compare,

My heart holds your paw print, a bond we still share.

Outro

Now you're playing with friends, so naughty and free,

Picking up dropped socks, for all eyes to see.

With toys and with Marshall, sweet tales you both spin,

Talking of mommy, where your soft dreams begin.

Outro - piano fade
