Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

The day you came, a furry, joyful start,

You quickly stole a place within my heart.

A little Schitzu, small and full of grace,

Rolling in our bed, with a happy face.

A simple touch, a belly rub so deep,

Promises of joy you’d always keep.

Your tiny paws, a rhythm soft and light,

Filled every day with wonder, pure and bright.

Chorus

Oh, Buster, my dear friend, my loyal boy,

Nine cherished years, you filled my life with joy.

Though silence echoes where your barks once played,

The memories of you will never fade.

A love like ours, a bond so strong and true,

My heart remembers every moment spent with you.

Verse 2

Our daily cuddles, warm and ever so sweet,

A happy greeting, when our eyes would meet.

I’d hear the howls that called me to the door,

And knew that I was home forevermore.

You held a special mischief in your gaze,

Navigating life through sunny, happy days.

A furry shadow, always by my side,

With nothing but pure love you had to hide.

Chorus

Oh, Buster, my dear friend, my loyal boy,

Nine cherished years, you filled my life with joy.

Though silence echoes where your barks once played,

The memories of you will never fade.

A love like ours, a bond so strong and true,

My heart remembers every moment spent with you.

Verse 3

You'd lean upon my belly, snug and warm inside the chair,

And offer gentle kisses, showing how much you did care.

You'd watch the passing traffic from the doorway, keen and bright,

Then join us at the concerts, shining in the fading light.

A little gentleman, always by our side,

With every loving memory, there's nowhere left to hide.

Chorus

Oh, Buster, my dear friend, my loyal boy,

Nine cherished years, you filled my life with joy.

Though silence echoes where your barks once played,

The memories of you will never fade.

A love like ours, a bond so strong and true,

My heart remembers every moment spent with you.

Bridge

I love you so much, my precious, dear old friend,

Thank you for making my life complete 'til the end.

Please meet me at the Rainbow Bridge, when it is time,

Beyond the clouds, where golden pathways climb.

Instrumental - strings, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Buster, my dear friend, my loyal boy,

Nine cherished years, you filled my life with joy.

Though silence echoes where your barks once played,

The memories of you will never fade.

A love like ours, a bond so strong and true,

My heart remembers every moment spent with you.

Outro - strings fade

Now running free in grass of endless green,

Your plumed tail standing, the best you've ever been.

The boss of all the dogs in heaven's gentle light,

You wait for me there, shining ever so bright.
