Stella

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

The first time that we met, a fluffy gold embrace,

Your whole body wagged, with joy in every space.

With happy barks and toy in mouth, a welcome warm and true,

The best Goldendoodle, the sweetest dog we knew.

When Kylie pitched her game, you'd run from side to side,

A playful golden shadow, nowhere left to hide.

Your spirit bright and free, a joy for all to see,

Our darling Goldendoodle, you meant the world to me.

Chorus

Oh Stella, our Stella, a light so pure and true,

Nine precious years we shared, filled with love and you.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story we embrace,

Forever in our memories, a happy, loving place.

Verse 2

The evening cuddles warm, a comfort soft and deep,

Beside us in the bed, our secrets you would keep.

You greeted every friend, with open, happy gaze,

Bringing smiles to faces, through all our passing days.

No stranger was unwelcome, no heart you failed to mend,

Our family's sweet protector, our most devoted friend.

Your loyalty a gift, your presence like a song,

Where you were, Stella, that is where we felt strong.

Chorus

Oh Stella, our Stella, a light so pure and true,

Nine precious years we shared, filled with love and you.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story we embrace,

Forever in our memories, a happy, loving place.

Verse 3

Papa watched you waiting, from the front window pane,

A joyful, golden wag, through sunshine and through rain.

With paws upon his lap, a signal clear and bright,

You’d ask him for some wrestling, with playful, loving might.

On belly, head held high, with snaps and jerking grace,

His hands would meet your paws, a smile on every face.

A bond of play and laughter, a joy that knew no end,

Stella, our dear Stella, Papa's truest friend.

Bridge

We love you with all our heart, our perfect family dog,

We miss you, Stella dear, through morning's gentle fog.

Papa's deeply sorry, he couldn't do more to save you,

But Kylie loves you endlessly, and thanks for all you do.

You'll always be with us, eternally.

Instrumental - acoustic guitar, harmonica, upright bass

Final Chorus

Oh Stella, our Stella, a light so pure and true,

Nine precious years we shared, filled with love and you.

Your paw prints on our hearts, a story we embrace,

Forever in our memories, a happy, loving place.

Outro

Now we see you running, with a toy held in your jaw,

Your tail a joyful blur, defying every law.

With Jesus giving snuggles, a sweet and gentle grace,

Then playing endless softball, in heaven's open space.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade
