Missy

Intro - piano, strings

Verse 1

The sun would rise, a brand new day

And your sweet kisses showed the way

A little face, a loving lick

My morning facewash, oh so quick

You'd greet the dawn, a tiny friend

Right to my face, until the end

And every night, before I slept

Your gentle love, my heart had kept

Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear, my little star

You left a beautiful, lasting scar

For twelve long years, you blessed my life

Through every joy, through every strife

You're forever etched within my soul

Making my spirit truly whole

Verse 2

From dawn to dusk, and all between

The happiest dog I’d ever seen

Your special moments filled each day

You chased the shadows, loved to play

A shadow small, right by my side

With nothing in this world to hide

Your wagging tail, a joyful sign

A love so pure, profoundly mine

Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear, my little star

You left a beautiful, lasting scar

For twelve long years, you blessed my life

Through every joy, through every strife

You're forever etched within my soul

Making my spirit truly whole

Verse 3

Your sniffing nose would guide us home,

At window pane, where cars would roam.

A tiny bark for cat or dog,

My constant partner, near and far.

My food you'd sample, with a sniff,

But yours near mine? A wary whiff!

Your paw on me, a steady guide,

Then over shoulder, you would hide.

Bridge

Mummy loves you always and forever, it’s true

Mummy will see you again someday soon when I get there too

Until that day, my love, you'll feel me near

Eternally held, my precious, dear

Instrumental - strings, woodwinds

Final Chorus

Oh, Missy, my dear, my little star

You left a beautiful, lasting scar

For twelve long years, you blessed my life

Through every joy, through every strife

You're forever etched within my soul

Making my spirit truly whole

Outro

Now running free on green, soft ground

With happy smiles, no sorrow found

Among the dogs, in skies above

Enveloped in eternal love

Outro - strings fade
