Monty

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From the very first day, a joy to behold

A German Shepherd's spirit, strong and bold

No food he wouldn't eat, a feast in his sight

But a scale's cold embrace would fill him with fright

Chorus

Oh, Monty, for six years, you blessed my days

In countless small, unforgettable ways

Your paw prints are etched, on my soul they remain

A love like no other, easing all pain

Verse 2

I recall watching you, from your spot on the couch

Your soft, loving gaze, never a slouch

A silent connection, in moments so pure

A comfort and friendship, destined to endure

Chorus

Oh, Monty, for six years, you blessed my days

In countless small, unforgettable ways

Your paw prints are etched, on my soul they remain

A love like no other, easing all pain

Verse 3

You brought a little bird in, a strange, feathered prize

With a comical moo and a look in your eyes

That unique cowlick, a cut from the fence

Each memory cherished, a bond so immense.

Then came the hard times, a battle you fought

With courage and spirit, so bravely you sought

To keep on walking, defying all pain

My brave Monty, my love will sustain.

Bridge

You are forever in my heart, my loyal friend true

The best dog a man could ask for, that was you

A quiet whisper, across the divide

In every memory, you truly abide

Instrumental - strings, percussion

Final Chorus

Oh, Monty, for six years, you blessed my days

In countless small, unforgettable ways

Your paw prints are etched, on my soul they remain

A love like no other, easing all pain

Outro

Now you're taking toys from your brother, in fields far above

Resting peacefully, surrounded by love

Outro - cello fade
