Coco

Intro - piano, glockenspiel

Verse 1

Laying close to me, a tiny fur of brown,

Your gentle licks upon my ear, a soothing, sleepy sound.

Upon my lap you'd settle down, a little Shih-Tzu's plea,

Your softest 'talking' moments, just for me.

Then chasing balls we'd spend our days, a joyful, playful chase,

A happy panting, quick and light, upon your sweet dog face.

In every moment, pure delight, a presence ever true,

My heart found comfort, dear sweet Coco, just from loving you.

Chorus

Oh, Coco, my sweet friend, sixteen years we knew,

A love like ours, a bond so deep, forever strong and true.

Though quiet now your paw steps are, your spirit softly gleams,

You'll always walk within my heart, within my waking dreams.

Verse 2

In morning's first light, by my side, a happy, sleepy sigh,

And bedtime cuddles, soft and warm, beneath the evening sky.

These gentle rituals we shared, a comfort and a grace,

The purest joy was just to see your happy, loving face.

You’d wag your tail with quiet cheer, for every little thing,

A peaceful presence, year by year, the comfort you would bring.

So many moments, big and small, imprinted in my mind,

The sweetest memories of all, dear Coco, one of a kind.

Chorus

Oh, Coco, my sweet friend, sixteen years we knew,

A love like ours, a bond so deep, forever strong and true.

Though quiet now your paw steps are, your spirit softly gleams,

You'll always walk within my heart, within my waking dreams.

Verse 3

Through sixteen years, a steadfast heart, you walked beside my own,

A loyal spirit, set apart, never truly alone.

Each morning's greet, each evening's sigh, a rhythm soft and true,

Beneath the ever-watching sky, my days were shaped by you.

The silence now, it feels so vast, where once your soft breath lay,

But tender memories hold fast, illuminating my way.

A tiny paw print, deep and true, upon my soul it stays,

My sweet beloved Coco, through all my future days.

Bridge

I love you forever, don't be sad or afraid, my dear,

Daddy's holding you close, no more pain, no more tear.

Go find your friend Toby, beneath the sky so wide,

Chase those squirrels, my sweet boy, with nothing left to hide.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Coco, my sweet friend, sixteen years we knew,

A love like ours, a bond so deep, forever strong and true.

Though quiet now your paw steps are, your spirit softly gleams,

You'll always walk within my heart, within my waking dreams.

Outro - piano fade

Now running free on grass so green, beneath the sun's warm glow,

Jumping in your pool, dear Coco, after toys you know.

A peaceful slumber, soft and deep, your journey's gentle end,

Forever loved, my dearest boy, my faithful, cherished friend.
