Duke's Story
Duke, the beloved Beagle, was instantly recognizable by his enthusiastic barks from his favorite window chair, always eager for a treat or a meal. He brought profound comfort with his early morning snuggles, burrowing into his blanket, and truly lived up to his name as a constant source of light, inspiring lessons of love, patience, and a zest for life.

Lyrics
Intro - piano, strings
Verse 1
From your favorite chair, a watchful eye so keen
A bark at every shadow, a passing car unseen
My little Beagle heart, so full of sound and grace
With hungry eyes that followed, food in its rightful place
Never did a treat pass by, without a hopeful plea
A signature prairie dog pose, for all the world to see
You spoke your mind so clearly, a joyful, playful noise
My Duke, you brought such happiness, with all your simple joys
Chorus
Oh, Duke, my Duke, my sunshine bright and true
For eleven and a half years, my world revolved around you
You taught me how to love so deep, with every beat and sigh
My guiding light, my faithful friend, beneath the endless sky
Verse 2
The quiet morning hours, snuggled close in bed
Beneath your special blanket, with sleepy, tangled head
And when the day was fading, and stars began to gleam
Your paw upon my arm, a gentle, loving dream
A silent, warm embrace, a comfort I still crave
The many simple moments, my precious heart would save
You buried in my blanket, a cozy, loving mound
The sweetest peaceful presence, without a single sound
Chorus
Oh, Duke, my Duke, my sunshine bright and true
For eleven and a half years, my world revolved around you
You taught me how to love so deep, with every beat and sigh
My guiding light, my faithful friend, beneath the endless sky
Bridge
Mama loves you with every beat of my heart, it's true
For all the world you opened, and gently led me through
You taught me patience, gentleness, a zest for life so keen
My precious Duke, my "Light," the truest love I've seen
Instrumental - strings, piano, French horn
Final Chorus
Oh, Duke, my Duke, my sunshine bright and true
For eleven and a half years, my world revolved around you
You taught me how to love so deep, with every beat and sigh
My guiding light, my faithful friend, beneath the endless sky
Outro
Now roaming free and boundless, with nose upon the ground
Eating every treat you wish, no limits can be found
Walking in pure light and peace, no pain to hold you back
My sweet Duke, my sunshine, forever on your track
Outro - piano fade, strings swell
