Wesson James

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

The first time that we met you, a joy so plain to see,

A bulldog heart so gentle, as friendly as could be.

You never met a stranger, a wagging, happy friend,

Our little daughter loved you, a bond that had no end.

Chorus

Oh, Wesson James, our dear old boy, for twelve long years you stayed,

You filled our home with laughter, no memory will fade.

Your loving spirit lingers, a comfort and a light,

Forever in our hearts, you shine so strong and bright.

Verse 2

Each evening when the day was done, and I'd walk through the door,

I'd hear your joyful patter across the kitchen floor.

You'd race to greet me, full of zest, with happy barks and sighs,

The purest kind of welcome, reflected in your eyes.

Chorus

Oh, Wesson James, our dear old boy, for twelve long years you stayed,

You filled our home with laughter, no memory will fade.

Your loving spirit lingers, a comfort and a light,

Forever in our hearts, you shine so strong and bright.

Bridge

Sometimes I still imagine, your eager, loving gaze,

And whisper out your nickname through all these passing days.

"Who is it, where they at boy," a question softly cast,

The echoes of your presence, forever meant to last.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, piano, upright bass

Final Chorus

Oh, Wesson James, our dear old boy, for twelve long years you stayed,

You filled our home with laughter, no memory will fade.

Your loving spirit lingers, a comfort and a light,

Forever in our hearts, you shine so strong and bright.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade, piano

Now running free and happy, beyond the golden sun,

With all your loving family, your joyful race is run.

With endless piles of milk bones, and fields so wide and green,

The best life you are living, our sweet and noble king.
