Sobe

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

From a young pup with fur so bright,

Your clever spirit, a guiding light.

A Border Collie mix, so keen and true,

My world began with just seeing you.

Eighteen years, a lifetime's embrace,

Your loyal gaze lit up every space.

Those knowing eyes, forever on me,

A silent promise, for all to see.

Chorus

Oh, Sobe, my faithful friend,

Eighteen years, a journey without end.

Though silence fills the air today,

Your love, Sobe, will never fade away.

Verse 2

I remember sunbeams, soft and gold,

On winding pathways, stories untold.

Early afternoon, we walked the trails,

No greater joy than your wagging tails.

Through rustling leaves and sun-dappled ground,

The sweetest friendship we ever found.

Each joyful leap, a playful chase,

Leaving paw prints in time and space.

Chorus

Oh, Sobe, my faithful friend,

Eighteen years, a journey without end.

Though silence fills the air today,

Your love, Sobe, will never fade away.

Verse 3

In the agility ring, you’d truly shine,

A focus held, a spirit divine.

Each hurdle cleared, a perfect arc,

You left your beautiful, vibrant mark.

My perfect teammate, strong and free,

A bond unbroken, for all to see.

With every stride, a champion’s grace,

You ran our race at your own pace.

Chorus

Oh, Sobe, my faithful friend,

Eighteen years, a journey without end.

Though silence fills the air today,

Your love, Sobe, will never fade away.

Bridge

Now the evening hush begins to fall,

I hear your name, a quiet call.

Though my heart whispers a soft good-bye,

Beneath the vast and endless sky,

Sweetie Mahal brings comfort to me,

A gentle presence, wild and free.

She soothes my pain, my L4 and L5,

Helping my aching heart to survive.

Instrumental - strings, French horn, piano

Final Chorus

Oh, Sobe, my faithful friend,

Eighteen years, a journey without end.

Though silence fills the air today,

Your love, Sobe, will never fade away.

Outro

Now you’re chasing squirrels, wild and free,

Beneath the branches of an endless tree.

Rest easy now, my dearest boy,

Filled with peace, and endless joy.

Outro - piano, strings fade
