Lily

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The sound of your bark, a familiar sweet tune

Calling us out beneath morning's first moon

Time for a walk, you'd stand proud and so tall

A Bearded Collie, answering nature's call

Herding the pathway, with purpose so keen

The boss of the bushes, a beautiful scene

You'd gather the shadows, and leaves as they blew

Every new morning, a fresh start with you

Chorus

Oh, Lily, sweet Lily, our bright guiding star

Fourteen years, four months, you're never too far

You taught us to live, to laugh and to roam

You made every journey feel just like home

Verse 2

Those walks in the morning, a sacred delight

With you by my side, everything felt right

You'd try to herd squirrels, and birds in the air

A tiny boss lady, beyond all compare

Your spirit was boundless, your loyalty true

In every adventure, our world was with you

From sunup to sunset, a loyal, soft friend

A love like yours, we knew would not end

Chorus

Oh, Lily, sweet Lily, our bright guiding star

Fourteen years, four months, you're never too far

You taught us to live, to laugh and to roam

You made every journey feel just like home

Bridge

Now a whisper I send, on the soft morning breeze

Herd everything, darling, and put us at ease

Keep them in line, you are the boss, it is true

Our hearts walk beside you, in all that you do

Instrumental - banjo solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Lily, sweet Lily, our bright guiding star

Fourteen years, four months, you're never too far

You taught us to live, to laugh and to roam

You made every journey feel just like home

Outro

Now you're running free, barking with glee

Still herding the clouds, for all eyes to see

Our sweet Lily, forever the boss of the sky

Beneath the vast heavens, a peaceful goodbye.

Outro - guitar fade
