Ace

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

From the moment we met, a curious sound

You'd bark at the air, with no one around

A tiny protector, with a heart so grand

The smallest of pups, held right in my hand

A mix of such breeds, a spirited soul

Making my daily life feel whole

You watched every leaf, every breeze that would blow

Thirteen years later, how my love did grow

Chorus

Oh, Ace, my dear Ace, my faithful old friend

Thirteen sweet years, right to the end

A paw print left upon my heart, so true

My life was brighter, just because of you

Verse 2

The moment I walked through the door each night

You'd dance and you'd spin, a joyful sight

A happy greeting, with wiggles and leaps

Unconditional love, your dear spirit keeps

You chased at the shadows, and played with such glee

Every day felt like a new memory

Your bright, eager eyes, full of wonder and grace

No one could ever take your special place

Chorus

Oh, Ace, my dear Ace, my faithful old friend

Thirteen sweet years, right to the end

A paw print left upon my heart, so true

My life was brighter, just because of you

Bridge

Chase that magpie, my brave little one

And kangaroos beneath the sun

Run free now, Ace, with no more pain

I know someday, we'll meet again

Banjo Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Ace, my dear Ace, my faithful old friend

Thirteen sweet years, right to the end

A paw print left upon my heart, so true

My life was brighter, just because of you

Outro

Now you run free, in endless tall grass

A sunbeam sleep, that forever will last

Sweet dreams, my Ace, beneath the sky

My little friend, I'll never say goodbye

Outro - guitar fade
