Toby

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

I remember waking to the morning light

And finding you curled up, a comforting sight

A fluffy little shadow right by my side

With your gentle breathing, nowhere to hide.

Your cockapoo curls, a joyous, soft blend

A loyal companion, my very best friend.

That first precious moment, so clear and so true

My heart knew right then, I'd found love in you.

Chorus

Oh Toby, sweet Toby, my heart still aches for you

Ten years we walked together, through everything we knew.

Your love was a beacon, a warm, guiding flame

Life's never been quite the same.

Verse 2

We found our own haven, where skies were so wide

At Stanpit Marsh walks, right there by your side.

You'd sniff every scent, with such happy delight

Chasing the breezes, a beautiful sight.

Your tail wagging wildly, a joyful, blurred sign

Every moment with you, perfectly divine.

Those memories echo, so vivid and deep

Treasures forever, my heart longs to keep.

Chorus

Oh Toby, sweet Toby, my heart still aches for you

Ten years we walked together, through everything we knew.

Your love was a beacon, a warm, guiding flame

Life's never been quite the same.

Bridge

Though silence now fills where your playful barks played

My love for you, darling, will never ever fade.

I will never stop loving you, my baby, it's true

My heart holds your paw prints, forever with you.

Instrumental - harmonica solo

Final Chorus

Oh Toby, sweet Toby, my heart still aches for you

Ten years we walked together, through everything we knew.

Your love was a beacon, a warm, guiding flame

Life's never been quite the same.

Outro

Now I see you running, tail wagging so free

Across fields of sunshine, just waiting for me.

My sweet, precious Toby, forever you'll roam

Resting in peace, in your heavenly home.

Outro - guitar fade
