Solo

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

I remember the day, clear as can be,

A small furry flash, looking up at me.

In the pet store pen, a joyful leap and spin,

That's where our adventure was to begin.

A Mini Aussie spirit, so bright and bold,

A story of loyalty, waiting to unfold.

With eyes full of mischief, and a heart so true,

My world changed forever, the moment I met you.

Chorus

Oh, Solo, my Solo, my faithful, dear friend,

For eight precious years, 'til the very end.

Your paw in my hand, a bond pure and deep,

A love that my heart will forever keep.

Verse 2

So many evenings, we'd share a sweet rest,

On the back porch together, putting life to the test.

Watching the TV, with your head on my knee,

A quiet contentment, just you and me.

No words ever needed, a silent embrace,

Finding comfort and peace in that familiar space.

My steady companion, through sun and through rain,

You healed every heartache, you eased every pain.

Chorus

Oh, Solo, my Solo, my faithful, dear friend,

For eight precious years, 'til the very end.

Your paw in my hand, a bond pure and deep,

A love that my heart will forever keep.

Verse 3

That Mother's Day morning, a gift from above,

You came to our home, filled with endless love.

A present that kept giving, year after year,

Chasing away every doubt and every fear.

Spinning with excitement, when we walked through the door,

Splashing at the lake, wanting so much more.

Playing fetch in the backyard, a joyous sprint,

Every memory a treasure, a beautiful print.

Chorus

Oh, Solo, my Solo, my faithful, dear friend,

For eight precious years, 'til the very end.

Your paw in my hand, a bond pure and deep,

A love that my heart will forever keep.

Bridge

What little time we had, with moments both happy and sad,

It shaped who we are, a love we truly had.

You've made us stronger, in ways we can't express,

Missing you deeply, with unending tenderness.

Instrumental - strings, piano, French horn

Final Chorus

Oh, Solo, my Solo, my faithful, dear friend,

For eight precious years, 'til the very end.

Your paw in my hand, a bond pure and deep,

A love that my heart will forever keep.

Outro - strings fade, piano

Now looking out the window, a guard in the light,

Solo, watching over us, day and through night.

Running free and peaceful, beyond all our sight,

Forever in our hearts, shining ever so bright.
