Lucy

Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica

Verse 1

Your low rumble growl, a deep sound inside,

Like an engine revving, with nowhere to hide.

Then a furious bark, into the dark night you'd fly,

A guardian spirit beneath the wide sky.

You'd launch through the door, with a powerful call,

Protecting our home, protecting us all.

For the grandkids you watched, with a love true and vast,

"I am Lucy," you’d bark, "My fierce love will last!"

Chorus

Oh, Lucy, my friend, for fourteen long years,

You chased away worries, you calmed all my fears.

More than a dog, you were part of my soul,

You made my life richer, you made me feel whole.

Verse 2

On a cold Christmas Eve, you first found your way,

Joined our human pack, from that very first day.

To the river we’d go, just you and just me,

Wading the currents, wild and so free.

You’d fetch every stone, with a splash and a dive,

Duck your head in the water, just to feel so alive.

Every gathering bright, you were always right there,

A silent devotion, beyond all compare.

Chorus

Oh, Lucy, my friend, for fourteen long years,

You chased away worries, you calmed all my fears.

More than a dog, you were part of my soul,

You made my life richer, you made me feel whole.

Verse 3

You'd pester for play, with a rock in your jaw,

A game we both loved, defying all law.

And a slice of pizza, its crust was your prize,

A treat in your heart, reflected in your eyes.

You were alpha and strong, no doubt in your stand,

A furry protector, with paw in my hand.

Though your body grew weak, your spirit held true,

My faithful old Lucy, I still lean on you.

Bridge

I know you'll be waiting, at heaven's bright gate,

For a hug and a greeting, no longer to wait.

We'll spend our eternity, never apart,

Our connection will grow, pure and true in my heart.

Lucy, I'll see you again, just you wait,

You're in Jesus's care, 'til I walk through that gate.

Instrumental - harmonica solo, acoustic guitar

Final Chorus

Oh, Lucy, my friend, for fourteen long years,

You chased away worries, you calmed all my fears.

More than a dog, you were part of my soul,

You made my life richer, you made me feel whole.

Outro - acoustic guitar fade

I miss you so deeply, no other compares,

No dog could replace you, or lighten my cares.

I know you are running, so peaceful and free,

A guardian angel, watching over me.
