Colt's Story
Colt, the beloved Cocker Spaniel, was a shadow of comfort, always following close behind, even to the bathroom, and waiting patiently at the storm door for your return. His heavy, comfortable sigh at bedtime, nestled against your back, was a cherished nightly ritual, just like his enthusiastic greetings at the door. Now, we imagine him running freely and joyfully in the backyard with Remy, forever loved until you meet again.
— Remembered by Linda
Lyrics
Intro - piano, strings
Verse 1
A little shadow, always near,
Dispelling every doubt and fear.
Through every room, you'd softly creep,
Even when my secrets I would keep.
At the storm door, a patient gaze,
Waiting through my coming and going haze.
A faithful heart, so pure and true,
My sweet Cocker Spaniel, my loving you.
Chorus
Oh, Colt, my dear, it’s plain to see,
Fifteen wonderful years you gave to me.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
Where did the time go, where did it all belong?
Verse 2
At bedtime, a comfort I would find,
Pressed right against me, leaving worries behind.
A heavy sigh, so soft and deep,
While gentle dreams began to creep.
And every time I walked inside,
Your happy greeting, nowhere to hide.
A wagging tail, a joyful sound,
The sweetest friend I ever found.
Chorus
Oh, Colt, my dear, it’s plain to see,
Fifteen wonderful years you gave to me.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
Where did the time go, where did it all belong?
Bridge
My heart still whispers, clear and true,
I'll love you forever, only you.
And though we're parted for a while,
We'll see each other again one day, my child.
Instrumental - piano, cello
Final Chorus
Oh, Colt, my dear, it’s plain to see,
Fifteen wonderful years you gave to me.
A love so deep, a bond so strong,
Where did the time go, where did it all belong?
Outro
Now in the backyard, bathed in light,
Running free with Remy, taking flight.
A peaceful dream, a spirit bright,
Forever cherished, morning, noon, and night.
Outro - piano fade
