Avery

Intro - acoustic guitar, fiddle

Verse 1

A furry shadow, always near,

Dispelling every doubt and fear.

My little stalker, with an eye so bright,

You filled my days with pure delight.

A Sheltie's wisdom, clear and deep,

Secrets of my heart you'd keep.

So super smart, you loved to please,

Putting my worried mind at ease.

Chorus

Avery, my handsome, loyal friend,

For fourteen years, right to the end.

Your watchful spirit, ever true,

My heart belongs always to you.

Verse 2

No bark to greet me at the door,

Just joy that bubbled to the core.

You'd tag your body, head to tail,

A silent welcome, never to fail.

Morning light or darkest night,

Your presence made my world feel right.

A gentle soul, a quiet grace,

Leaving paw prints in this place.

Chorus

Avery, my handsome, loyal friend,

For fourteen years, right to the end.

Your watchful spirit, ever true,

My heart belongs always to you.

Bridge

Tomorrow's sun will softly rise,

Reflecting in your loving eyes.

Run free, my handsome, I will miss you so,

A piece of my heart will always know.

You've been the best boy, through and through,

My everlasting love for you.

Fiddle solo

Final Chorus

Avery, my handsome, loyal friend,

For fourteen years, right to the end.

Your watchful spirit, ever true,

My heart belongs always to you.

Outro

Though you're beside me, here and now,

A silent, gentle, loving vow.

Soon you'll run free on golden plains,

Washing away all earthly pains.

Sleep soundly, sweet boy, forever bright,

Resting peacefully in endless light.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade
