Baxter's Story
Baxter, the beloved Yorkshire Terrier, communicated his wishes with an affectionate head-knock, always leading the way and greeting each morning with a joyful smile and the wag of his beautiful tail. He cherished quiet cuddles in the conservatory and playful sessions with his squeaky balls, often found lying on his back with a ball held gently in his paws. Now, visiting as a watchful robin, Baxter can see everything once more, his loving spirit forever a best friend.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, ukulele
Verse 1
A tiny friend, so full of might
He'd show me morning, noon, and night
A gentle head-nudge, soft and clear
To tell me what he wanted near
He'd lead me down the path, you see
Always wanting me to follow thee
My little Yorkie, small but grand
The dearest dog in all the land.
Chorus
Oh, Baxter, sweet Baxter, twelve happy years we knew
Every day a blessing, with sunshine shining through
Your spirit still brightens, though you're out of sight
Our little celebration, our guiding morning light.
Verse 2
In the conservatory, warm and bright
We'd share our cuddles, pure delight
Just me and him, a special place
With loving warmth and gentle grace
Each morning as I'd greet the day
He'd wag his beautiful tail and play
A happy smile upon his face
Filling our home with joy and grace.
Chorus
Oh, Baxter, sweet Baxter, twelve happy years we knew
Every day a blessing, with sunshine shining through
Your spirit still brightens, though you're out of sight
Our little celebration, our guiding morning light.
Verse 3
He'd strut the lane with swaggering pride,
For Pah-pah's coming, by his side.
His head out car window, wind in his hair,
Always near you, without a care.
On holidays, the sand he'd explore,
But water's touch, he would abhor.
He wrapped his Pah-pah 'round his paw,
The bestest boy we ever saw.
Bridge
You were my best friend, love you always, it's true
A bond unbreakable, forever me and you
Your memory a comfort, through every passing day
In my heart, you'll always stay.
Instrumental - ukulele, light percussion
Final Chorus
Oh, Baxter, sweet Baxter, twelve happy years we knew
Every day a blessing, with sunshine shining through
Your spirit still brightens, though you're out of sight
Our little celebration, our guiding morning light.
Outro - guitar fade
Now a robin, wings so free
He watches over you and me
His bright eyes shining, clear and grand
A squeaky ball held in his paws, across the land
Laying on his back, without a care
My sweet Baxter, everywhere.
