Shadow's Story
Shadow, a devoted German Shepherd, had a special routine of waiting patiently in the bed for her return, her tail thumping a joyous welcome as soon as the door opened. She lived for truck rides, getting into a frenzy of excitement at the very word, and now waits at the Rainbow Bridge, sunning herself peacefully by the river bank.

Lyrics
Intro - piano, strings
Verse 1
When I left for work, the day would begin,
You'd find your warm spot, curled softly within.
On my bed, you'd patiently stay,
A loyal heart waiting all through the day.
Just hear "truck ride," a spark in your eyes,
A frenzy of joy, a happy surprise.
A German Shepherd, so noble and true,
My faithful companion, I always miss you.
Chorus
Oh, Shadow, my girl, for five precious years,
You chased away all of my worries and fears.
A silent promise, a love deep and wide,
Forever you journey here by my side.
Verse 2
No matter how long the hours would stretch,
Your presence was there, a loving soft wretch.
Still in my bed, a comfort so deep,
Your tail thumped a rhythm as I fell asleep.
I'd walk through the door, and hear that sweet sound,
The best welcome home, the most loyal friend found.
A special moment, held tight in my mind,
A love so pure, one of a kind.
Chorus
Oh, Shadow, my girl, for five precious years,
You chased away all of my worries and fears.
A silent promise, a love deep and wide,
Forever you journey here by my side.
Verse 3
The house feels so quiet, without your soft sigh,
No eager brown eyes, watching me pass by.
No gentle nudge given, when comfort I sought,
Every sweet moment, still held in my thought.
Five years flew by swiftly, a beautiful dream,
Now just cherished memories, a silent moonbeam.
But your spirit still lingers, a whisper so deep,
Promises of reunion, my heart will always keep.
Bridge
Thank you for loving me, heart full and bright,
I will always love you, with all of my might.
Until I see you again, I'll dream of your grace,
Until we reunite, in that peaceful place.
Instrumental - piano, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Shadow, my girl, for five precious years,
You chased away all of my worries and fears.
A silent promise, a love deep and wide,
Forever you journey here by my side.
Outro
You passed in the truck, waiting patiently there,
Now at the Bridge, without a worry or care.
Stretched by the river, bathed in soft sun,
You'll know of my coming, long before I run.
Outro - piano fade
