Dallas

Intro - piano, harp

Verse 1

From the moment you came, a shadow so true,

A soft little poodle, always in view.

Each step to the kitchen, you'd follow along,

You made my house feel like a comforting song.

No matter the room, you had to be near,

Dispelling all shadows, calming every fear.

You'd nestle so close, a warmth I could feel,

Our two hearts together, made perfectly real.

Chorus

Oh, Dallas, my dear, through eighteen long years,

You dried all my sorrows and quieted fears.

A bond woven deeply, a love understood,

The bestest companion, forever so good.

Verse 2

When twilight arrived and the day drew its close,

Our bedtime routine, as everyone knows.

You'd burrow beneath covers, a sigh soft and deep,

As peaceful and quiet as secrets we'd keep.

Your head on my shoulder, a weight so serene,

The gentlest presence I'd ever have seen.

In those quiet moments, we merged into one,

Until the first light of the morning had spun.

Chorus

Oh, Dallas, my dear, through eighteen long years,

You dried all my sorrows and quieted fears.

A bond woven deeply, a love understood,

The bestest companion, forever so good.

Bridge

I whisper "I love you," across the soft breeze,

For the best dog I needed, you brought me such ease.

A joy unexpected, a gift from above,

Filled every moment with infinite love.

Instrumental - piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, Dallas, my dear, through eighteen long years,

You dried all my sorrows and quieted fears.

A bond woven deeply, a love understood,

The bestest companion, forever so good.

Outro

Now your sweet heart is resting, a peace deep and true,

But I feel in the silence, you're missing me too.

So sleep, my dear Dallas, dream sweet dreams of me,

Running free in the meadows, eternally.

Outro - piano fade
