5.5 years of love
Rosie's Story
Rosie, the spirited Australian Shepherd Red Heeler, loved to be at the heart of every moment, whether greeting others with a happy bark or keenly watching her family from her perch at the top of the stairs. Her greatest joy was undoubtedly after-dinner playtime in the family room, skillfully catching toys mid-air and bringing them back, a loving dance of boundless energy for her beloved parents.
— Remembered by Aquilino
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, banjo
Verse 1
From the top of the stairs, you'd watch the kitchen floor
A curious eye, always wanting more
To see everyone, to play with all your might
Barking at dogs, a wonderful sight
You loved a good rub, a belly and a pat
Where attention was found, that’s where you were at
Running up and down, a blur of fur and glee
To meet mom or dad, happy as can be
Chorus
Oh, Rosie girl, our hearts still sing your name
Five and a half years, you lit our world in flame
A bright red heeler, a spirit wild and free
Your joyful run lives on, for all the world to see
Verse 2
When dinner was done, the fun would truly start
Catching your toy right there, a work of art
In the family room, a leap into the air
Bringing it back to us, beyond compare
Your playful spirit, a dance of pure delight
Making every evening feel so warm and bright
Always full of mischief, always full of grace
Leaving paw prints on our hearts, time cannot erase
Chorus
Oh, Rosie girl, our hearts still sing your name
Five and a half years, you lit our world in flame
A bright red heeler, a spirit wild and free
Your joyful run lives on, for all the world to see
Verse 3
Every morning, every night, a blur of red and white
Always by our side, a comforting light
A faithful shadow, our loyal, sweet companion
Guarding our home, our beautiful champion
With endless energy, a herder through and through
Every moment with you, precious and new
We cherished every bark, every loving stare
A love like yours, beyond all earthly care
Bridge
Though tears may fall, we feel your gentle grace
A warmth that fills this quiet, empty space
Our Rosie girl, our love will never fade
For every memory, a joyful serenade
We love our Rosie girl, with all our might
Instrumental - mandolin solo, banjo, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Rosie girl, our hearts still sing your name
Five and a half years, you lit our world in flame
A bright red heeler, a spirit wild and free
Your joyful run lives on, for all the world to see
Outro - acoustic guitar, mandolin fade
Running and playing, pain free and light
Forever in our hearts, shining ever so bright
Goodnight, sweet Rosie, goodnight.
