Zero

Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin

Verse 1

I remember the sound, a familiar soft tune,

The click-click of your nails beneath the moon.

Then the zoomies would start, after every bath,

A spinning whirlwind, full of laughter and path.

Your barks of pure joy, a delightful small show,

Such loyalty and devotion, only you could bestow.

A tiny brave heart, so fearless and true,

Unconditional love, forever in view.

Chorus

Oh, Zero, my sweet, loyal friend,

Over twenty-three years, right to the end.

You filled every moment with a love so pure,

A tiny shadow, forever secure.

Verse 2

When I held you so close, in my arms you would sleep,

Your little head on my shoulder, secrets we'd keep.

A soft paw at my hand, a gentle small plea,

Just asking for cuddles, just you and just me.

Your eyes full of wisdom, a comforting gaze,

Through all of life's seasons, through all of our days.

A bond woven tight, a love so profound,

The best little companion, ever found.

Chorus

Oh, Zero, my sweet, loyal friend,

Over twenty-three years, right to the end.

You filled every moment with a love so pure,

A tiny shadow, forever secure.

Bridge

You filled my heart with so much love and joy,

A lifetime of happiness, my dear little boy.

So run and play freely, without any fear,

Know I love and miss you, Zero, my dear.

Be back shortly, baby dog, wait for me there.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Final Chorus

Oh, Zero, my sweet, loyal friend,

Over twenty-three years, right to the end.

You filled every moment with a love so pure,

A tiny shadow, forever secure.

Outro

Now a youthful body, happy and free,

Zooming and spinning, for all eyes to see.

With Dawg by your side, in the warm sun you lay,

Peaceful and happy, through eternity's day.

Outro - guitar fade
