Sampson

Intro - acoustic guitar, ukulele

Verse 1

Your gentle giant heart, a loving soul so deep,

Eleven years of memories, secrets we would keep.

My first remembrance of you, a morning, soft and low,

Your gentle nose would nudge me, a loving way to know.

It was your way to wake me, a signal clear and true,

My Great Dane, sweet Sampson, my morning started new.

A big paw on the bed, a rumble deep and warm,

Protecting me from troubles, sheltering from any storm.

Chorus

Oh, Sampson, my dear Sampson, for eleven years you stayed,

A loving heart, a loyal friend, a bond that never swayed.

Your spirit bright, a joyful light, forever in my mind,

The best companion, one of a kind.

Verse 2

Five AM, the quiet dark, before the sun would peek,

Your soft fur pressed against me, the comfort that I seek.

A gentle nudge, a sleepy sigh, to start the brand new day,

My faithful friend, in your own way, you'd chase the blues away.

We played our game, the yellow dot, a chase across the floor,

Your joyful barks, your wagging tail, I couldn't ask for more.

A playful spirit, always keen, a happy, loving friend,

Our days together felt like joy, that would never seem to end.

Chorus

Oh, Sampson, my dear Sampson, for eleven years you stayed,

A loving heart, a loyal friend, a bond that never swayed.

Your spirit bright, a joyful light, forever in my mind,

The best companion, one of a kind.

Bridge

I whispered "I love you," as tears began to fall,

"We will meet again someday," I gave my silent call.

And always, my dear Sampson, "our game yellow dot,"

A memory cherished, never to be forgot.

Instrumental - ukulele, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Sampson, my dear Sampson, for eleven years you stayed,

A loving heart, a loyal friend, a bond that never swayed.

Your spirit bright, a joyful light, forever in my mind,

The best companion, one of a kind.

Outro

Now you're free, my Sampson, with friends you knew so well,

Doing zoomies in the sunshine, where happy spirits dwell.

A peaceful sleep, a joyful run, beneath an endless sky,

My cherished boy, it's not goodbye.
