Alaska

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

If I sat down, you'd be right there

A little shadow beyond compare

Tiny paws, a loving stare

A constant presence, easing every care

Your spunky glow balls, a treasured sight

I'd throw them fifty times, day and night

You'd chase them gleefully, with all your might

Filling our home with pure delight

Chorus

Oh, Alaska, my sweet and true

Twelve beautiful years I spent with you

A love so pure, a bond so deep

Precious memories I will keep

Verse 2

Each morning sun, each setting moon

You'd settle beside me, not too soon

Your gentle presence, warm and mild

My loyal, sweet, and dearest child

When company came, you'd greet them all

Convinced they answered your special call

Every visitor, you truly knew

Had come just to visit you

Chorus

Oh, Alaska, my sweet and true

Twelve beautiful years I spent with you

A love so pure, a bond so deep

Precious memories I will keep

Bridge

Run free now, my precious baby, I know you don't want to go

And darling, letting go, it hurts me so

I love you, my heart is breaking, but this isn't goodbye

I promise, Mama will see you soon, beneath the sky

Hugs and kisses, until that day

In my heart, you'll always stay

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Alaska, my sweet and true

Twelve beautiful years I spent with you

A love so pure, a bond so deep

Precious memories I will keep

Outro

Now you're running free, in fields of light

Greeting angels, morning, noon, and night

Every soul who enters heaven's gate

Meets your loving smile, sealed by fate

My sweet Alaska, softly asleep

Forever in my heart, your love I'll keep

Outro - piano fade
