prince

Intro - piano, cello

Verse 1

I remember the first time, a picture in my mind,

You sat so stoic and regal, one of a kind.

A standard poodle's grace, beside me in the seat,

My loyal co-pilot, the journeys felt so sweet.

Alert and ever watchful, aware of every turn,

A lesson in quiet presence, for which my heart does yearn.

Chorus

Oh, dear Prince, my faithful friend, through thirteen years we flew,

A bond unbreakable, forever strong and true.

Though silence fills the space now, where your gentle paws once trod,

Your memory is a comfort, a sweet gift from God.

Verse 2

The early evening calls, a trip we loved to share,

To Sonic Drive-in's glow, without a single care.

For two baby burgers, your special, happy treat,

A moment of pure joy, impossible to beat.

Your eyes would shine with pleasure, a simple, sweet delight,

You made the mundane moments, wonderfully bright.

Chorus

Oh, dear Prince, my faithful friend, through thirteen years we flew,

A bond unbreakable, forever strong and true.

Though silence fills the space now, where your gentle paws once trod,

Your memory is a comfort, a sweet gift from God.

Verse 3

Each quiet evening moment, beside the fire's gleam,

Your soft sigh was a comfort, a waking, gentle dream.

The steady rhythm of your breath, a presence ever near,

Dispelling every shadow, banishing all fear.

You taught me simple solace, in just being by my side,

A silent, loving guardian, with nothing left to hide.

Bridge

My whispered wish ascends to skies so clear and vast,

Run and chase the squirrels, let your joyful spirit last.

But watch for me, my Prince, beyond the sun's soft ray,

For I will surely join you, upon that future day.

Instrumental - piano, strings

Final Chorus

Oh, dear Prince, my faithful friend, through thirteen years we flew,

A bond unbreakable, forever strong and true.

Though silence fills the space now, where your gentle paws once trod,

Your memory is a comfort, a sweet gift from God.

Outro

Now sitting on a cloud, with your ball held in your mouth,

Patiently you wait for me, heading always South.

Until that day we meet again, in peace you rest, my dear,

No more a watchful co-pilot, no more a lonely tear.

Outro - piano fade
