Maggie

Intro - acoustic guitar, piano

Verse 1

The first sound of dawn, a melody so clear,

Your collar's soft jingle, telling me you're near.

Then click-clack of your nails, a happy, tapping beat,

Waking up my world, oh so bittersweet.

A beagle's gentle call, to greet the brand new day,

Chasing sleep away, in your loving way.

Chorus

Oh, Maggie, sweet girl, my heart still holds you tight,

Nine years we shared, a beacon, pure and bright.

Your love was a comfort, a gentle, guiding gleam,

Forever you'll live, in my sweetest dream.

Verse 2

When I'd come home again, after the day's long run,

You'd fly to greet me, beneath the setting sun.

Your head and little body, shaking side to side with joy,

A loyal, loving spirit, my favorite, precious toy.

No welcome was ever quite like the one you'd bring,

The happiness you showed, made my whole heart sing.

Chorus

Oh, Maggie, sweet girl, my heart still holds you tight,

Nine years we shared, a beacon, pure and bright.

Your love was a comfort, a gentle, guiding gleam,

Forever you'll live, in my sweetest dream.

Bridge

Though silence fills the house, where your echoes used to play,

One whisper I send to you, on every single day.

"I love you sweet girl, you were the very best for me,"

A timeless bond, for all eternity.

Instrumental - cello, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Maggie, sweet girl, my heart still holds you tight,

Nine years we shared, a beacon, pure and bright.

Your love was a comfort, a gentle, guiding gleam,

Forever you'll live, in my sweetest dream.

Outro

Now beyond the fence, where green fields gently sweep,

You're running free and happy, while the whole world's fast asleep.

Sniffing every whisper, on breezes soft and low,

A peace surrounds your spirit, wherever you may go.

Outro - guitar fade
