Lilly's Story
Lilly, the faithful German shorthaired pointer, brought warmth and joy into every moment, always ready by the refrigerator and greeting each guest with her cherished blankie. Her gentle presence was felt in the comforting sound of her snores, head and nose nestled close, and in her enthusiastic greetings upon coming home, always followed by her special morning leg cleanings.
— Remembered by Leonard
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
From the moment you came, a shadow so true,
When the fridge door opened, there you always flew.
With your blankie clutched tight, every guest got a cheer,
And your sweet, rumbling snore, so close to my ear.
Chorus
Oh, Lilly, my Lilly, my constant delight,
For ten years and eight months, you filled up my life with your light.
A love pure and honest, a bond strong and deep,
A lifetime of memories, my heart will now keep.
Verse 2
That joyful reception when I walked through the door,
A greeting more precious than I could ask for.
Each morning, your soft nose, a brush on my skin,
A silent reminder of where love begins.
Chorus
Oh, Lilly, my Lilly, my constant delight,
For ten years and eight months, you filled up my life with your light.
A love pure and honest, a bond strong and deep,
A lifetime of memories, my heart will now keep.
Verse 3
At the table you'd beg, with a soft, knowing gaze,
Paper towels prepared for your drooling-sweet ways.
Your big bark a warning, but boundless your heart,
Watching lizards, then tearing each gift set apart.
Bridge
I love you, my Lilly girl, it's true what I say,
You're the last dog I'll own, come what may.
The best I had saved, you were truly the one,
My heart's peaceful sunset, my dearest bright sun.

Final Chorus
Oh, Lilly, my Lilly, my constant delight,
For ten years and eight months, you filled up my life with your light.
A love pure and honest, a bond strong and deep,
A lifetime of memories, my heart will now keep.
Outro
I know you are waiting, beyond the bright gate,
"Don't ever leave me again," you would state.
And I see you there sleeping, or running so free,
Till I finally come home, Lilly, to you and to me.
