Pretzel

Intro - acoustic guitar, soft banjo

Verse 1

Four months old, a stray on the street

A ginger and white, oh so sweet

You walked into my life that day

And stole my heart in every way

You were my everything, my heart and soul

Making my broken spirit whole

A little cat, so full of grace

Finding your forever happy place

Chorus

Oh, Pretzel, my dear, my sweet friend

Thirteen long years, right to the end

Your love was a light, so steady and true

A piece of my heart will always miss you

Verse 2

On the floor, our "mush" sessions would start

You on your back, playing your part

Cuddles and kisses, whispers so low

Sweet conversations, watching our love grow

Every morning, every night

You filled my world with pure delight

A gentle paw, a purring sound

The truest love I ever found

Chorus

Oh, Pretzel, my dear, my sweet friend

Thirteen long years, right to the end

Your love was a light, so steady and true

A piece of my heart will always miss you

Verse 3

For four long months, I never left your side

My every waking moment, nowhere to hide

I poured my heart into your healing, dear

Wished I could keep you always, ever near

If given time, I’d mend you, free from pain

And keep you safe, through sunshine and through rain

You took a piece of me when you had to go

A love so deep, my Pretzel, you should know

Bridge

I whispered "It’s ok, baby, you can let go"

My everything, so you would know

I’ll love you forever, through eternity

A bond like ours, wild and free

Mandolin Solo

Final Chorus

Oh, Pretzel, my dear, my sweet friend

Thirteen long years, right to the end

Your love was a light, so steady and true

A piece of my heart will always miss you

Outro

Now with my dad, beyond the blue sky

I feel you watching, a tear in my eye

Run free and happy, no sorrow, no pain

Until we meet, my sweet Pretzel, again
